Rosemary Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

This rosemary lemon chicken and potatoes recipe is one of those comfort food recipes that is handy to have up your sleeve.
Rosemary Lemon Chicken and Potatoes


Another school year announced itself with the arrival of true British weather-rain, rain and more rain.

I am writing this while grieving our canceled park plans and listening to the heavy rain drops pounding on the roof of my conservatory.

The message is clear-summer is over. The hope, however is not…as long as this Rosemary Lemon Chicken and Potatoes Recipe exists.

However, there is a silver lining in all of this. Cosy blankets, great books and delicious autumn food.

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!

    I was going to make this but then I realized I have frozen chicken breasts and not legs and thighs, will that still work?

    Thanks!

      Hi Abigail they can work if you pre-cook the potatoes since chicken breasts only need about 20-25 min in the oven depending on their size.

    Are you supposed to cover it before you stick in the oven? I thought you would, but wasn’t 100% sure.

      Hi Monica, no you are not supposed to cover it, otherwise you won’t get that lovely golden colour on the chicken or potatoes.

    This is a beautiful dish! I couldn’t resist but to dirty an extra bowl so tossed the chicken and potatoes just to make sure they were sufficiently coated ;0)

    I so wish it was coming into autumn here. But we are about to enter a scorching Aussie summer. I will enjoy this chicken while I can.
