Oven-baked lemon chicken with herbs and vegetables topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 450 g small red potatoes, cut into 4 pieces
- 2 medium carrots, cut into 2.5cm pieces.
- 2 stalks celery, peeled and cut into 2.5cm pieces.
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1cm wide wedges.
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (about 800g)
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 lemon, cut in half
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Preparation:
- Position a rack on the top shelf of the oven and preheat the oven to 230°C (430°F). On a rimmed baking sheet, combine the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper in a single layer. Bake until the vegetables are lightly browned and the potatoes are just beginning to soften, about 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- Meanwhile, rub the chicken breast skin with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle with poultry seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Once the vegetables begin to soften, add the chicken breasts and roast until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Toss the roasted vegetables with the juice of half a lemon and parsley. Remove the meat from the bones and shred. Divide the chicken and roasted vegetables among 4 plates. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and serve with the chicken and vegetables.
