  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon lemon zest
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Lemon Herb Chicken And Potatoes Skillet is straightforward when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing and halving the baby potatoes. Mince the garlic, and set aside the remaining herbs and seasonings.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sear the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
4. Cook the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and tender.
5. Add Garlic and Herbs: Add minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, and thyme to the potatoes. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
6. Combine Chicken and Potatoes: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to mix everything together, allowing the flavors to combine for another 2 minutes.
7. Garnish and Serve: Once everything is heated through, remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

By following these simple steps, you’ll create a dish that is both satisfying and full of flavor.
