Lemon Chicken with Potatoes


My sister Amy sent me this recipe and it is really good. Make sure you use waxy potatoes, I used russet potatoes once and it was not nearly as good.

4 waxy potatoes (red skinned or Yukon gold)
1 T. olive oil
8 cloves garlic, minced (I always use the minced garlic in a jar, it's 4 teaspoons if you use that)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 cup water
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. thyme
4 chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice potatoes 1/2 inch thick. Boil for 8 minutes then drain. Cut chicken breasts in half. Mix remaining ingredients in a 9x13 dish. Place chicken in mixture and turn to coat. Add potatoes in between chicken. Cover baking dish with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove tin foil and bake for another 15 minutes.

I halved this recipe and baked it in an 8x8 dish.
