Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Chicken Recipes

SHEET PAN LEMON GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425º F (218º C). Line a large sheet pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray or olive oil.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, garlic cloves, and red pepper flakes, if using. TIP: Make sure to zest your lemons before you squeeze them.
• Arrange potatoes and chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle oil mixture over the chicken and potatoes; mix to coat. Place lemon slices and onion around the chicken, if using.
• Roast for 35- 40 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the chicken reads 165° F, and potatoes are tender. Halfway through the baking process, carefully flip each chicken and potatoes for even cooking.
• OPTIONAL: In the last 3-5 minutes of the baking process turn your oven to broil mode and broil until the chicken is golden and the potatoes crisp and golden.
• Garnish with fresh oregano and/or parsley, if using. Serve hot.

LEMON-THYME SHEET PAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Whisk the olive oil, salt, thyme, pepper, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice together in a large bowl.
• Add the chicken, potatoes, red onion and lemon wedges to a sheet pan.
• Pour the olive oil mixture over the sheet pan and toss so that everything is evenly coated. Turn the chicken skin-side up and space the pieces evenly apart.
• Roast on the middle oven rack, rotating the pan halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (avoiding bone), 45 to 50 minutes.
• Remove to a platter and sprinkle with the parsley. Drizzle with any juices from the sheet pan and squeeze the roasted lemon wedges over the chicken.
