I love the trio combination of garlic, fresh herbs, and lemon and it goes so well with chicken and the veggies used here.
One Pan Garlic Herb Chicken and Veggies
One thing I learned with the garlic in this recipe is that there isn’t really a way around getting bitter garlic if you cook it with the chicken (because of how long the chicken is cooked for over hot heat, I mean you could add it in with the chicken during the last 2 minutes but at that point it’s not going to flavor the chicken much). So instead I opted to just add all of the garlic to the potato mixture, which works out fine in the end because you eat it all together anyway.
Par Cook the Potatoes First
Then with the potatoes, I found it works best to par-cook them in the microwave before sauteing them. That way it cuts back on cooking time and you don’t need to add even more oil (potatoes tend to have a way of soaking it up). This is a simple 30-minute chicken meal that you’ll want to make again and again! Plus you’re in luck if you’ve got an herb garden, this pan dinner will put those herbs to great use. This is a meal definitely worthy of adding to your weeknight menu rotation, what’s not to love here?
