How to Make Lemon Chicken with Roasted Potatoes:
This one is so easy! All you do is place chicken thighs, lemon/orange juice, spicy brown mustard, olive oil, and potatoes in a roasting pan, cover with foil and bake for an hour. Then you remove the foil and cook for 30 more minutes. Yes, 90 minutes seems like a long time, but cooking for this long in juices makes the chicken super tender. I like to add steamed broccoli to round out this meal.
This Meal is Whole30 Compliant
Yay, I love a dairy, gluten and grain free meal! Just make sure your spicy brown mustard doesn’t have sugar and you’re good to go.
Why I Love It:
Not only is this meal delicious, you put it together in literally five minutes, then pop it in the oven for ninety minutes. That means if you’re entertaining you have time to get yourself ready, set the table. put out some flowers and boom! You look like a pro. Another reason I love it is that I can use a larger roasting pan and double the recipe to feed a larger crowd.
The Recipe: Lemon Chicken with Roasted Potatoes
Tips and what you need: a good roasting pan. I use a hand held juicer to squeeze my lemon and orange. This spicy brown mustard is Whole30 compliant. And finally, my favorite sea salt!
This meal is prepped in a flash and popped in the oven for 90 minutes, giving you time to do other things
- 6 chicken thighs, bone in, skin on
- 1 1/2 pounds new potatoes (baby Yukon or white baby potatoes work best) Cut in half (or quarter if larger)
- Juice of one large lemon
- juice of one large orange
- 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
- 2 tablespoon good quality extra virgin olive oil
- generous sea salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- one bunch broccoli florets, steamed
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, place oven rack in center position
-
While oven heats: place chicken thighs skin side up in roasting pan. Add cut potatoes all around and in between chicken pieces. In a bowl, juice your lemon and orange. Add spicy brown mustard and whisk. Pour over chicken and potatoes.
-
Drizzle potatoes and chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with oregano, sea salt and pepper. Cover tightly with foil and place in the oven for 60 minutes. Remove foil and cook for 30 more minutes to brown chicken and potatoes.
-
Ten minutes before chicken is done, steam broccoli until desired tenderness is achieved. When chicken is done, remove form oven. Add broccoli to pan and serve. Be sure to spoon the liquid at the bottom of the pan over broccoli. Enjoy!

That looks absolutely delicious! Sounds like a perfect stay-at-home date night meal. 🙂
Thanks Raia! We love this one!
Simple yet delicious dinner! Didn’t take too long and felt like easy prep. Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad! Thanks!
I’m not sure you’ll ever need to know this, but this meal is actually compliant with the Vitamin A Detox diet, lol, if you leave off the oregano and chili peppers! 😉 I couldn’t resist mentioning it since that’s kind of my world right now, and it’s hard to find compliant recipes. SUPER yummy too! Can’t go wrong with lemon, potatoes, rosemary and chicken.
You never know when one may need this knowledge! I didn’t realize oreganco or chili peppers were high in Vit A. You learn something new everyday!
LOVE the chicken and lemon combo, it’s a winner every time. But I have a confession, the broccolini was my favorite part x-)
That’s a good thing:)
I love trying new meal prep boxes. Unfortunately, we don’t have it in my area yet!
Darn!
