Good Morning! I hope you guys are having a great week so far!
Today I am bringing you a quick, easy and flavorful dinner. Roasted Lemon Rosemary Chicken and Red Potatoes. The answer to my crazy weeknight slacking!
Roasted Lemon Rosemary Chicken and Red Potatoes
Why the slacking? I blame it on my new commute. Do you commute to work?
If you do then you can agree with me that it is no fun! Up until this week I had a 15 minute commute down to the exact minute. I took side roads to work and in Chicago that is a blessing. The highways can be a complete mess, especially during rush hour. You can imagine how upset I was when I learned that my company was moving and that my commute would now be 45 minutes on the highway…and that is a traffic free day.
Needless to say I have been working on ways to cut down time on things like cleaning, laundry and cooking during the week. Cooking is one of my favorite things to do and it is hard for me to give it up. I have been trying to make simple recipes during the week that don’t take a lot of time. Let’s be honest..the last thing I want to do after a long day of work and 2 hours of commuting is cook something complicated.
Roasted Lemon Rosemary Chicken and Red Potatoes is easy to prepare and roasts in the oven while you go about your night. It took me less than10 minutes to prepare and you can even cut the potatoes the night before to save time.

I hope you enjoy this Roasted Lemon Rosemary Chicken and Red Potatoes as much as I did. This could be your new go-to chicken dinner!

Saw this one Pinterest. Love braised thighs and this combination looks really good. Repinning.

sorry, thought those looked like thighs. They look so small. Anyway…. great looking recipe. 🙂
This looks yummm, I have some chicken quarters in the fridge to make tonight, I may try it with those instead of the chicken breasts. Thank you for the inspiration!
That would work great! I hope you like it!
I love roasting as a no-fuss way to make dinner – this sounds delicious!
Thanks Jeanette! I agree-I love dishes I can throw in the oven and they do the work!
Sorry about the long commute. I go from the bedroom to the office and sometimes that’s a long way.
I love, love, love your chicken. All my favorites are in there.

Work from home is my goal..someday! 🙂
One-pot meals is a must and this recipe is classic and looks delicious! Wow: traffic free day? Is that possible? We were just in Chicago and that traffic is gnarly! I give you props for commuting and still cooking!
Thanks Sarah! Chicago traffic is ridiculous. There are days I question why I live here and deal with it! But Chicago does have a lot to offer. Hopefully I can keep up the energy to keep cooking!
Do you know how I save time on cleaning?
By not doing it. 😉 CHAMPION, right here.
This looks soooo good!
