Roasted Lemon Chicken
Whenever we can, we love to share recipes that are not only delicious, but simple and easy to prepare. In this recipe, you not only have really excellent roast chicken but you also have fingerling potatoes, carrots and green beans that pick up great flavors from cooking along with the chicken in the same pan. A great meal with easy prep, easy cleanup, and sure-fire flavor. That’s a win-win.
