Lemon Garlic Chicken


Ok so I was on this kick this weekend trying recipes from Kelly's blog here is another wonderful chicken recipe.
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced
4 cloves garlic1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 can green beans whole
8 small red potatoes, quartered
4 chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 450. Coat a large baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange lemon slices from 1 lemon in a single layer on the bottom of the dish. In large bowl combine remaining olive oil, lemon juice of 2nd lemon, garlic, salt and pepper. Add green beans and toss to coat. Using tongs, remove green beans and arrange them on top of lemon slices. Add potatoes to same olive oil mixture and coat. Arrange on inside edge of dish on top of the beans. (I think it’s so pretty!) I also add a lemon pepper mixture on top of everything. It adds a lot of flavor. Place chicken in olive oil mixture and coat. Place chicken in dish. Roast for 40-50 minutes. Remove chicken and continue roasting potatoes/beans if necessary.
** Only changes I made on this is a didnt use entire squeezed lemon it was a bit much for us. Super yummy kids loved it!
