Sheet Pan Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

Molly LaFontaine
My sheet-pan lemon chicken and potatoes are simple to prep in under 10 minutes! It's so light and refreshing but full of flavor. I absolutely love tossing this supper together on busy nights. It allows me to do other things around the house while it cooks! I hope you love this easy meal as much as we do!

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium-sized russet potatoes (or 2 large or 4 small)
  • 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 of a red onion
  • 2 tsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (salt-free)
  • 5 tsp lemon zest

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice chicken breast into small bite sized pieces about 1-2 inches in size. You should get a good amount of them. Add to a large mixing bowl, set aside, and wash with hands soap and water to prevent food contamination.
  • Rinse potatoes with water, pat dry, and peel. Cut both into small cubes about the same size for even cooking. Add to mixing bowl with chicken.
  • Slice red onion into strips and add to mixing bowl.
  • Add avocado oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon zest to mixing bowl. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
  • Dump everything on the prepared sheet pan and spread it out for even cooking.
  • Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are soft. Enjoy!
