Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
4 chicken thighs
400g
2 potatoes
400g
1.50 cups chicken gravy
300g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
16g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1/3 cup lemon juice
63g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by dicing the potatoes into small, evenly sized pieces. Zest the lemons until you have 2 tablespoons of zest, and juice the lemons until you have 1/3 cup of lemon juice.
2. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Brown the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the 4 chicken thighs to the pot. Sear them for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
4. Cook the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the same pot. Cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes until they start to brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
5. Make the Roux: In the same pot, move the potatoes to one side and melt 1 tablespoon of butter on the empty side of the pot. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of flour over the melted butter and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to form a roux.
6. Add the Chicken Gravy: Gradually pour in the 1.5 cups of chicken gravy while continuing to whisk. Mix until the gravy is smooth and has thickened slightly.
7. Incorporate Lemon Flavors: Stir in the 2 tablespoons of lemon zest and the 1/3 cup of lemon juice. Make sure everything is well combined.
8. Return the Chicken: Place the browned chicken thighs back into the pot. Ensure the chicken thighs are nestled among the potatoes and submerged in the sauce.
9. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through, the potatoes should be tender, and the sauce should be flavorful.
10. Final Touch: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Give it a final stir to combine all the flavors.
11. Serve: Serve the lemon chicken Sorrento hot, making sure each plate gets a good amount of chicken, potatoes, and that delicious lemony sauce.

Tips:

- Choose Bone-In Chicken Thighs: Bone-in chicken thighs tend to be juicier and more flavorful compared to boneless. They also hold up better during the cooking process.

- Cut Potatoes Evenly: Make sure to cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate.

- Use Fresh Lemon Zest and Juice: For the best flavor, use fresh lemon zest and juice. It will make a noticeable difference in the taste of the dish.

- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the chicken and potatoes with salt and pepper. Proper seasoning brings out the best flavors in the ingredients.

- Simmer Gently: Let the dish simmer gently after adding the gravy and lemon juice. A slow simmer will help meld the flavors together without making the chicken tough.

With its refreshing lemony taste and easy preparation, one-pot lemon chicken Sorrento is sure to become a favorite in your household. The combination of tender chicken, creamy potatoes, and bright lemon flavors make it a satisfying and tasty dish that you can whip up any day of the week.
