Ingredients

- fresh lemons and rosemary sprigs - adds wonderful fresh citrus and herb flavor.
- seasonings - season the chicken and potatoes with lemon pepper, salt, and pepper.
How to make
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Slice and chop - Slice the lemon. Cut the onions into wedges. Cut the larger potatoes in half and leave the smaller ones whole.
- Brush the sheet pan with oil.
- Arrange the chicken, potatoes, and onion on the pan. Drizzle with remaining oil.
- Season with lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Nestle the lemons slices and rosemary sprigs among the chicken and potatoes.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken.
TIP: This recipe bakes in 20-25 minutes using 4-5 ounce chicken breasts. For larger chicken breasts, cut them in half so that all the components cook evenly.
