One-Pot Lemon Chicken

March 9, 2016

lemon one pot chickenI have to admit, I am usually not a fan of one-pot meals. Why? Because one component of the dish is usually compromised to cook everything for the same time at the same temperature. This is not the case here. You will probably want to bake some potatoes or cook some rice to go with it, but everything in this one pot comes out perfect!

The lemon really infused with the chicken and the vegetables while it cooks. It leaves a nice crispy, caramelized skin on the chicken as well. This is the perfect meal for a dreary day like today!
