One Pot Lemon Garlic Chicken
Simple one pot lemon garlic chicken with bright flavours. Quick, budget-friendly, and perfect for dinner with minimal cleanup.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken thighs I used bone-in, skin on, approximately 8 pieces
- 50 ml olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 3 fat cloves garlic finely grated
- 2 lemons juiced and the zest of 1 lemon
- 1 heaped teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 medium potatoes peeled and cut into small wedges
- 200 ml chicken stock I like Knorr stockpots
- 1 lemon sliced into rings
- 2 bay leaves
- To serve: steamed broccoli, peas or cooked veg of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven 180ºC fan.
- In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and zest, paprika, dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat. Marinate for up to 24 hours or cook straight away.
- Make up the chicken stock. Cut the potatoes into wedges and lay them in a wide deep baking dish. Place the chicken on top, making sure not to overlap so the skin gets crispy later. Pour all the marinade into the dish along with the chicken stock, sliced lemon and bay leaves.
- Bake in the oven for 1 hour checking half way through. It should be golden brown and cooked through.
- Best eaten on day.
