Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I've Got Dinner in My Tummy!

Tonight I decided to make one of my favorite go-to recipes: lemon chicken with green beans and new potatoes. I don't know why it's been so long since I made it last; every time I do, I'm reminded of what an easy, healthy, and delicious dinner it is! I wish I could claim responsibility for it, but I found it a year or so ago on Kelly's recipe blog. I love that I can prep it several hours beforehand, keep it covered in the fridge, pop it in the oven, and then have the entire meal ready at once! And doesn't it kind of look pretty, too?

Lemon Chicken with Green Beans and New Potatoes

*6 tbsp olive oil, divided

*2 lemons (1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced)

*4 cloves garlic

*1 tsp salt

*1/2 tsp ground pepper

*3/4 lb green beans (I just use 2 cans cut green beans)

*8 small red potatoes, quartered

*4 chicken breasts

*lemon pepper seasoning

Coat 9x13 baking dish with 1 tbsp olive oil. Arrange lemon slices in a single layer on the bottom of the dish. Combine remaining olive oil, juice of 2nd lemon, garlic, salt and pepper. Add green beans and toss to coat. Using tongs, remove green beans and arrange on top of lemon slices. Coat potatoes in same olive oil mixture and arrange around edge of dish on top of beans. Coat chicken in olive oil mixture and place in middle. Sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning on top of everything. Roast @ 450 for 40-50 min. Remove chicken and continue roasting beans/potatoes if necessary.

I originally hoped that all three of us would be able to eat dinner together, but there was an add-on case this evening that kept Daddy at work late. I know from the past that Brett loves this meal, but it's the first time I've tried it out on Kaiser. He was quite the hungry boy and begging to "eat, eat, eat", so I had a feeling my child wasn't going to be too tough to please...

Digging in!

Mommy's still having to help him "poke" his food.

A little too much lemon for ya?

"I love it all!"

As you can see, the fork got tossed to the side in favor of his hands.

Happy eater was asking for "mo, mo!"

I'm not lying when I tell you he was saying, "Nummy nummy nummy!"
