  • 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
    Start the Potatoes and Marinate the Chicken
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F and set out a large baking sheet.

  2. 2

    On the sheet pan, toss the cubed baby golden potatoes in 1 tablespoon olive oil, a large pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and paprika. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the potatoes are roasting, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl. Place the chicken in the bowl and toss to coat in the lemon and olive oil marinade. Set aside at room temperature.

  4. Bake the Chicken
  5. 4

    After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and flip the potatoes to brown on the other side.

  6. 5

    Nestle the marinated chicken breasts and slices of lemon among the potatoes and put the pan back in the oven for another 24-27 minutes, until the thickest part of the chicken breasts are cooked through. Check for doneness by making a small slice into the thickest part of the chicken breast ensuring there are no parts that appear pink. Alternatively, you can use a meat thermometer and confirm the internal temperature is at or above 165°F.

  7. Make the Lemony Ranch
  8. 6

    While the chicken roasts in the oven, mix all of the lemony ranch ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate the sauce until ready to serve.

  9. Serve and Enjoy
  10. 7

    Divide the chicken breasts and potatoes onto serving plates, discarding the lemon slices or using as a garnish if desired. Add a side of ranch to dip the chicken and potatoes in and enjoy!
