One-Pot Chicken, Potatoes and Mushrooms
Categories:
I happen to have another delicious, easy recipe to share this morning! I know, I’m such a susie homemaker, aren’t I?
A slight variation from my Lemon Feta Chicken, this chicken dish is a bit more robust in that it incorporates a side dish into the cook-time. It’s truly a one-pot (er, skillet) meal that’s on the table about 35 minutes after you mince your garlic.
One-Pot Chicken, Potatoes and Mushrooms lightly adapted from Food Network
- 3/4 pound small red-skinned potatoes, halved, or quartered if large
- 4-6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (6 to 8 ounces each) — skin-on, bone-in would work just fine, but I was trying to cut fat and calories by keeping it light
- 10 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Juice of 2 lemons (squeezed halves reserved)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Preheat the oven to 450. Cover the potatoes with cold water in a saucepan and salt the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender – about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Pile garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and the red pepper flakes on a cutting board, then mince and mash into a paste using a large knife. Transfer the paste to a bowl. Stir in the juice of 1 lemon, the olive oil and rosemary. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS PORTION AHEAD, JUST PLACE THE CHICKEN IN A ZIP LOCK BAG OR SEALED CONTAINER TO MARINATE OVERNIGHT AND PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF THE NEXT DAY
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, cover and cook about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and add the mushrooms and potatoes to the skillet. Return chicken to the skillet (over mushrooms and potatoes) and drizzle with any marinade remaining in the bowl and the juice of the remaining lemon.
Add a dash of rosemary and the squeezed lemon halves to the skillet; transfer to the oven and roast, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
When you’re done. you’ll have tender, flavorful chicken AND the perfect side dish, full of the same lip-smacking flavors — roasted potatoes and mushrooms.
Enjoy!
