Roasted Lemon Chicken

January 29, 2022 by Pam Leave a Comment

This Roasted Lemon Chicken is packed with healthy vegetables like artichokes, carrots,  potatoes and shallots all in a rich lemon herb sauce.

I really love this variation of Roasted Lemon Chicken because it’s truly a one pan healthy meal in all its deliciousness.

Ina Garten is really one of my favorite cooks. Most of us have seen her shows on the Food Network and she spotlights Lemon Chicken a lot. In fact, Lemon Chicken is one of her husband, Jeffrey’s favorite dishes. So with Ina as an inspiration, I created Roasted Lemon Chicken my way. 

And I have variations of this recipe like my Mediterranean Lemon Butter Chicken, where it includes olives and artichokes. But I thought this time I would make it a more complete meal with the addition of carrots and potatoes. roasted lemon chicken with artichokes and potatoes in a white pan 

And this time I wanted to add in the brined artichoke water and also add in a bit more herbs. The result was tender, moist chicken with rich herby vegetables. 

Ingredients for Roasted Lemon Chicken

  • Skinless Chicken breasts:  The star of the show
  • Sea salt: Just a pinch
  • Pepper: For a spicy bite
  • Flour: To brown the chicken and give it a crust
  • Olive oil: For health
  • Yukon gold potato:  A firm creamy potato to hold its shape
  • Baby carrots: For health and color
  • Artichoke hearts:  For health and tangy flavor
  • Shallots: For great flavor
  • Chicken broth:  For richness 
  • Lemon: For additional tang
  • Thyme, Rosemary, Fennel and Sage: For Mediterranean flavors

How to Make This Great Dish

First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F

Skinless chicken is healthier, for sure, but it does have the disadvantage of not being able to brown properly so I like to give it a bit of crust to start it out.  

Then salt and pepper both sides of the chicken. Next,  add a drizzle of olive oil to each side, then lightly dredge the chicken in flour.  I use Wondra almost exclusively because it’s finer and you don’t use as much as regular flour. Just a light coating works fine.  

Then just add  olive oil to a frypan over medium high heat and add the chicken.  Cook until it’s lightly browned, about 2 minutes and then turn over and cook 2 more minutes.

Next spray a large baking dish with oil and arrange chicken, potatoes, 2 lemon quarters, carrots and artichokes evenly in the pan..

In a bowl whisk the juice of the remaining lemon half, chicken broth, the brining water from the artichoke can, rosemary, fennel and sage and drizzle the mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.

Finally, place in the pan in the preheated oven and roast uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the chicken and potatoes are fully cooked.  Potatoes will be tender and the chicken should register 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
