Rosemary Lemon Chicken and Potatoes (VIDEO)

Published March 2, 2020 | Julia Frey (Vikalinka)

Jump to Recipe

Chicken and potatoes roasted with lemon, garlic and rosemary is one of those comfort food recipes that is handy to have up your sleeve!

All you need to compliment this one pan dinner is a simple salad like my  Creamy Tomato and Cucumber Salad.

Chicken and Potatoes

I am sure you won’t argue if I say that chicken and potatoes go as well together as bread and butter. They are such a classic and satisfying combinations and I love finding exciting ways to cook them, especially when they are roasted with herbs and garlic. 

The same could be said about lemon and rosemary pairing. Fresh, vibrant and citrusy. It brings so much zing to the chicken and balances out the fat! 

Now add a touch of garlic and a punnet of mushrooms and we are cooking!

How to make lemon rosemary chicken

Roasted Rosemary Lemon Chicken and Potatoes is a one pot type of dish that never disappoints. The easiest yet the tastiest thing to throw together.

No marinade, no countless dishes, everything prepped and done within an hour. And because it uses the cheapest parts of the chicken like thighs and legs, is also economical.

No wonder it earned a permanent place on the menu in our house!

All you have to do is to mix chopped rosemary and garlic with olive oil and lemon juice. Smother the rub all over the chicken leg and thighs as well as potatoes and roast in the oven.

Can I use dried rosemary?

Yes you can but fresh rosemary imparts such gorgeous flavour and aroma I would urge you to get it fresh. Rosemary keeps well in a fridge for over a week and could be used in so many other dishes like my Italian Rosemary Chicken.

You can also substitute rosemary with thyme or other herbs of your choosing. You can also replace mushrooms with asparagus, broccoli or any other vegetables you love.
