This simple dish is heart-healthy, light, and very satisfying! The Sopranos' Family Cookbook, Recipe by Michele Scicolone, 2002

Provided by Heather3271

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lemons
3 1/2-4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 potatoes, fist-sized, peeled and cut into wedges (preferably Yukon Gold)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 garlic cloves, chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon. Slice the other one.
  • Put the chicken and potatoes in a baking pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Sprinkle the lemon juice, oil, oregano, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Turn the pieces to coat evenly, then turn the chicken skin side up. Tuck the lemon slices and potatoes in between the chicken pieces.
  • Bake the chicken for 45 minutes. Baste with the pan juices. Continue to bake, basting occasionally, for 15 to 30 minutes longer or until the chicken is browned and the potatoes are tender.
  • Transfer the chicken, potatoes, and lemon slices to a serving platter. Tip the pan and skim off the fat. Pour the juices over the chicken and serve.
  • NOTES: Red potatoes are yummy, too!

This recipe is a waste of time. The chicken was tough and the potatoes were mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was dry and the potatoes were undercooked.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

I'm not a big fan of oregano, but I still enjoyed this recipe. The lemon and garlic flavors really shine through.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with roasted chicken from the deli and it was delicious.
