INGREDIENTS


6 tablespoons olive oil

2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound trimmed green beans
8 small red potatoes, quartered
4 chicken breasts (bones left in, with skin, about 3 1/4 pounds)

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a large baking dish or cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer in the bottom of the dish or skillet.
  • In a large bowl, combine the remaining oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper; 
  • add the green beans and toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the green beans and arrange them on top of the lemon slices. 
  • Add the potatoes to the same olive-oil mixture and toss to coat. 
  • Using a slotted spoon or tongs, arrange the potatoes along the inside edge of the dish or skillet on top of the green beans. 
  • Place the chicken in the same bowl with the olive-oil mixture and coat thoroughly. 
  • Place the chicken, skin-side up, in the dish or skillet. Pour any of the remaining olive-oil mixture over the chicken.

  • Roast for 50 minutes. 
  • Remove the chicken from the dish or skillet. 
  • Place the beans and potatoes back in oven for 10 minutes more or until the potatoes are tender. 
  • Place a chicken breast on each of 4 serving plates; 
  • divide the green beans and potatoes equally. Serve warm.
