Рецепт Lemon Chicken Skillet
Lemon Chicken Skillet
Happy Monday! Are you ready for another week? I trust that everyone had a great weekend. Our weekend was filled with family and lots of baseball. My parents are here visiting, my son had the last 2 games of his baseball season, and we went to a minor league baseball game in town. Today my parents are taking my 8 year old for a couple days to go to Colorado Springs. They will have lots of fun together, and my husband and I get a couple nights at home alone!
Lemon is one of the perfect flavors for summer. It is light and fresh, and just tastes like summer. You can have it in dessert or in a main dish, and you instantly feel relaxed and ready for the sun. The only thing better than making dinner on the grill in the summer, is making dinner in one dish. Cutting down on dishes, so you can get back to life, is always a good thing!
Lemon Chicken Skillet does have you turn on the oven, but it is quick! So hopefully it won’t heat up your house too much. My one word of advice for this recipe, is to precook your potatoes. I didn’t do that, and it took way longer than I wanted it to to cook them on the stove top. If I would have microwaved them for a few minutes before I started, this dinner could have come together in about 30 minutes.

Remove chicken from pan. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Add 1 Tbls olive oil to the pan. Add potatoes and season with ¼ tsp of salt. Cook potatoes for 15-20 minutes, until tender. Remove the potatoes from the pan. Add the lemon slices, and cook for about 1 minute on each side or until browned. Remove lemon. Add 1 Tbls olive oil to pan. Add onions and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken stock, and chopped fresh thyme. Bring to a boil.
Return potatoes and lemon slices to pan. Season with the remaining ¼ tsp of salt and pepper. Heat for 2 minutes until the potatoes are warm.
