Kiana's Sunset Chicken

Lemon Garlic Chicken with Crunchy Roasted Potatoes

Why I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe:

1 dish wonder: super easy cleanup! Great dish for parties because you can make the entire recipe in one disposable foil pan!  Great to take to the beach, picnic, house party or bbq.

Sunset Ohana time: Because it bakes for 40 minutes total (Appx 20/20) it's the perfect dish to put in the oven while you enjoy the sunset and appetizers with your Ohana (Hawaiian for Family)

I love this recipe because it bakes in the oven for an hour. It gives us a chance to enjoy the sunset !

Busy Fit Mom Tip: I mince fresh garlic cloves when I have the time.  I'll use pre minced garlic when I'm pressed for time.

Remove from heat & add lemon juice

MARINATE! Pour mixture over chicken to marinate while potatoes are cooking.

Enjoy with vegetables, butternut squash or side salad

Busy Fit Mom Tip: If you have time, buy fresh organic veggies.  No time? use frozen vegetable stir fried in coconut oil
