I must confess, this is not my recipe. I found it, and tweaked it to fit what I already had in the house. This is lo cal, yet juicy and all natural. (you didn't think I was only going to post delicious, high calorie appetizers from now on, did you?) A full meal all in one baking dish. Did I mention that it is simple to prepare? **I measured the ingredients according to a family size pack of chicken. (I like leftovers!) Ingredients can easily be scaled down to fit a normal sized package of chicken.
1/3 cup olive oil
2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced
6 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb trimmed string beans
14 mini colored potatoes (cut in half) (You can also use other small potatoes, and cut into quarters)
4 lbs bone - in chicken thighs, skinned if desired (You can also use chicken breasts)
- Coat 9 x 13 baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Place lemon slices on baking dish
- Combine remaining olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix
- Add trimmed string beans and coat. Place on top of lemon slices
- Coat potatoes with marinade and place on the inside rim of the pan
- Coat chicken thighs and place on top of beans
- Add remaining marinade to top of chicken
- Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165 degrees
- If the chicken is cooked, and the potatoes are not, remove the chicken, and cook the potatoes and beans for an additional 10 or so minutes. (until tender)
