I don’t know what it is about the combination of boneless skinless chicken breast, potatoes, and lemon that makes cold weather months so much better. Is it the citrus? Maybe. 

But, this recipe combines the best ingredients that our bodies crave when the temperature drops. It’s also an easy weeknight meal, since it’s cooked on a sheet pan, and in 30 to 35 minutes.

We tend to have lots of citrus in the house during the fall and winter, since they are in season. We’ve made orange chicken with mandarin oranges, and this lemon chicken recipe is another new favorite.

Can we talk about these tiny potatoes?! I have 2 kids that aren’t big on eating potatoes, but when I serve them these tiny potatoes, they are all about it.

They get tossed in the olive oil, lemon, and seasonings that we spread onto the chicken breast. Le yum. Plus, asparagus is a vegetable all 3 of my kinds enjoy. This recipe is obviously a win-win.

The liquid gold you spread onto the chicken is key to the deliciousness of this recipe. All of the ingredients are budget-friendly, and probably in your pantry right now.

To make this easier, and even healthier, we use Perdue Farms organic chicken. Now that Perdue Farms has an e-commerce site, it’s so much easier for us to keep organic meat in the house (and stick to your grocery budget).

Friends. This sheet pan chicken recipe is a no-brainer. You have to give it a go this month. When you do, come back and tell us how much you loved it!
