Recipe Introduction

This one-pot meal takes just minutes to prepare and about an hour to bake. Fix for Sunday supper and brown bag any leftovers during the week.

List of Ingredients

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup minced fresh thyme leaves (or 2 teaspoons dried leaves, crumbled)
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 pounds 8 ounces pared all-purpose potatoes, cubed
4 medium onions, coarsely chopped
Eight 3-ounce skinless boneless chicken breasts


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350¼ F. Spray a 13 x 9" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the broth, juice, thyme, oil, salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and onions; toss to coat. With a slotted spoon, transfer the solids to the prepared baking dish. Add the chicken to the broth mixture; toss to coat.

Transfer the chicken to the baking dish, arranging the chicken and vegetables in a single layer; pour the broth mixture evenly over all. Cover with foil. Roast 30 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until the juices run pink when the chicken is pierced with a fork. Remove the foil and roast 30 minutes more, until the vegetables are golden and the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork. Divide evenly among 8 plates and serve.
