I think I originally saw this recipe on Pintrest.... which then led me to Real Simple. I am always looking for healthy meals, and of course I love one-dish meals. This chicken was wonderful - simple, tasty and fairly healthy. We loved it!
Pan-Roasted Chicken with Lemon-Garlic Beans (adapted from Real Simple)
6 Tbsp olive oil
2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced and 1 juiced
4 cloves garlic - minced
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
3/4 lb trimmed green beans
8 small red potatoes, quartered
4 chicken breasts (bones left in with skin - about 3 1/4 lbs) I used 3 boneless with no skin
Preheat oven to 450. Coat a large baking dish or cast iron skillet with 1 Tbsp. of the olive oil. ARragne the lemon slices in a single layer in the bottom of the dish or skillet. In a large bowl, combine the remaining oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper; add the green beans and toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the green beans and arrange them above the lemon slices. Add the potatoes to the same olive-oil mixture and toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon, arrange the potatoes along the inside edge of the dish or skillet on top of green beans. Place the chicken in the same bowl with the olive-oil mixtxture over chicken. Roast for 50 minutes. Remove chicken from dish and roast the green beans and potatoes for about 10 more minutes. 4 servings
