Lemon Garlic Chicken with Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 8 small red potatoes, quartered
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2
To begin preparing the dish, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches a lightly browned yet still tender state, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the bacon from heat and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess moisture.
3
Next, prepare the baking dish by coating it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Arrange a single layer of lemon slices at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
4
To create the marinade, combine 5 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Stir the ingredients until they are well combined.
5
Add Brussels sprouts to the marinade and mix until they are evenly coated. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the Brussels sprouts over the lemon slices in the baking dish, reserving any excess marinade for later.
6
Add cooked bacon over the Brussels sprouts in the baking dish. Then, add potatoes to the remaining marinade and mix until they are evenly coated.
7
Use a slotted spoon to arrange potatoes along the inner edge of the baking dish, reserving any excess marinade for later.
8
Add chicken breast halves to the remaining marinade and coat them thoroughly. Place the chicken, skin-side up, over the vegetables in the baking dish.
9
Finally, pour any remaining marinade over the chicken. Then, bake the dish in a preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, approximately 1 hour. Use an instant-read thermometer to check if the chicken has reached a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
