💝Why You Will Love This Recipe

  • Everyday Comfort: The one pan chicken dinner is a comforting choice for any day of the week, especially in the chill of autumn and winter.
  • Versatile Pairings: the dish goes well with varied sides. Try pairing it with a Strawberry Arugula Salad With Pecans And Avocado for a refreshing contrast.
  • One-Pan Collection: A part of my one-pan dishes collection, it’s a ticket to easy cleanup on busy weeknights, alongside other quick fixes like Potatoes Au Gratin with Ham and Eggs or Easy No-Boil Mac And Cheese.

📝 Key Ingredients

Ingredients for Sheet Pan Lemon and Rosemary Chicken and Potatoes.
  • Olive Oil: The base for our zesty marinade, olive oil not only helps in roasting but also brings a mild fruity flavor to the dish.
  • Lemon: Fresh lemon juice and its zest are the star ingredients that provide a zesty tang and brighten up the flavors.
  • Dijon Mustard: Adds a tangy and mildly spicy note, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the marinade.
  • Garlic: Fresh garlic complements the lemon and herbs.
  • Red Onions: Sliced red onions caramelize during roasting, adding a hint of sweetness and a pop of color.
  • Red Potatoes: Or substitute with Yukon Gold, tender baby potatoes, or small new potatoes for a similar texture and roasting quality.
  • Chicken: Substitute with Turkey cuts for a lighter meat option. Use bone-in thighs, skin-on chicken pieces for better flavor.
  • Dried Rosemary: For a different flavor, substitute with thyme or oregano for a different herbaceous note. Fresh rosemary is also accepted.

I used this Lemon Squeezer(affiliate link) for lemons, that actually works for different citrus fruits size. It is one of my favorite tools in the kitchen.

🧑‍🍳 How to make

  1. Make the marinade by mixing the olive oil, lemon zest, juice and mustard. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes, chicken, onions, garlic and rosemary with the dressing.
  2. Spread the chicken and potatoes. Arrange the chicken and potatoes evenly on the sheet pan.
  3. Bake until the potatoes are golden brown and tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Serve.

💡Expert tip

For an extra burst of flavor, toss in some fresh herbs like parsley or basil just before serving.

          The same temperature but for less minutes, 35-40 minutes, as it cooks faster.
