Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large potatoes, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts with 3 tablespoons of lemon pepper seasoning. Toss the chicken to coat it evenly with the seasoning.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the potatoes, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
- Return the chicken to the skillet with the potatoes. Place the lemon slices on top of the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of lemon pepper seasoning over the dish.
- Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the flavors have melded together.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
