Pan-Roasted Chicken with Lemon-Garlic Green Beans

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3/4 pound trimmed green beans
• 8 small red potatoes, quartered
• 4 chicken breasts (bones left in, with skin, about 3 1/4 pounds)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a large baking dish or cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer in the bottom of the dish or skillet.
2. In a large bowl, combine the remaining oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper; add the green beans and toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the green beans and arrange them on top of the lemon slices. Add the potatoes to the same olive-oil mixture and toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, arrange the potatoes along the inside edge of the dish or skillet on top of the green beans. Place the chicken in the same bowl with the olive-oil mixture and coat thoroughly. Place the chicken, skin-side up, in the dish or skillet. Pour any of the remaining olive-oil mixture over the chicken.
3. Roast for 50 minutes. Remove the chicken from the dish or skillet. Place the beans and potatoes back in oven for 10 minutes more or until the potatoes are tender.

Lets get grillin! Kabob marinade recipes!!!

Hubby and I bought a brand new grill last night at Cabelas and of course with any man a new grill means new grill accessories. He was like a kid in a candy store. Well now as I'm looking for new a new recipe to post today I can't get something to grill off my mind. I can't wait for summer, this year it's going to be like no other!

You can put pretty much anyting on a kabob. If adding vegetables to meat, poultry, or fish on skewers, select vegetables that will cook in about the same amount of time. For example, shrimp cooks very quickly, so choose cherry tomatoes, green onions, or mushrooms, which also cook quickly. Meat that takes longer to cook goes well with bell peppers, onions or zucchini.
