One Pan Meal: Lemon Butter Chicken with Potatoes & Vegetables
This perfect weeknight dinner is all cooked in one pan! Lemon Butter Chicken with Potatoes & Vegetables is paleo friendly, gluten free, easy and delicious! Happy Friday!!
Thank you all SO much for your sweet comments from Wednesday's post.
It's so amazing to hear how many of you resonated with the letter. It's even more amazing how many of you are challenging societal expectations and loving your bodies no matter what! It makes my heart so happy :)
Alright to the recipe! Today's recipe is one of my favorite go-to meals.
To make this recipe you need whatever veggies you have on hand, chicken legs, ghee or butter, heavy cream (or coconut cream) and spices! You mix the sauce with the veggies, pour it on a baking sheet, add the chicken legs on top, bake and BOOM. Dinner complete!
You can make this with chicken breasts, but I encourage you to cook it with skin-on chicken legs. There is amazing nutrients within the skin and in the cartilage and bones of the meat. So not only will your meat be more tender and delicious (especially because its cooked in a butter and heavy cream!) but it will also be full of nutrition! I know you guys get tired of hearing me say this but DO NOT FEAR THE FATS. They make food so utterly delicious, so satisfying, filling and so nutritious!
