Quick Family Dinner: Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

August 20, 2014 by Heidi Potter

School’s back in session and no more eating at the pool, or picking up a leisurely late dinner with the kids. Dinnertime is important. Sitting at the table with your entire family is tough work. It involves planning and preparation. But sitting down to eat together is probably your only chance to connect with your family every day.

Here is a wonderful family dinner that everyone will enjoy. And a plus, it all cooks in one pan.

This recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks, The Sopranos Family Cookbook with recipes by Michele Scicolone. It’s an older book and every recipe is a jackpot. (Makes you miss Tony and Carmela too.)

I doubled the original recipe and made two full casserole dishes. Each dish fits four chicken leg quarters and all the other ingredients.

Don’t skimp on the spices!

The smell that will come from your kitchen should be bottled and sold. Enjoy!
