Skillet Roasted Lemon Chicken Recipe

Sometimes when I’ve planned my menu, I get excited about the upcoming meal, because it’s something new that I’m sure will be delicious! This happened recently after I had watched Ina Garten prepare a Skillet Roasted Lemon Chicken on You Tube. It had all the flavors we love, so I promptly added it to my menu…and then did what I frequently do when I make a new recipe – I invited guests to join us for dinner! Ha!

This recipe rivals and maybe even wins over my favorite Katie Brown Chicken recipe that I’ve been making for years! The lemon slices that line the cast iron skillet add so much flavor, as well as the infused olive oil that is brushed onto the chicken skin. Yum!

On busy days when you don’t even have time to throw something in the crock pot in the morning, there is a way to a enjoy a delicious dinner within an hour and with minimal effort. Have you ever made a Foil Packet Dinner? The varieties are endless – ground beef, turkey or chicken, kielbasa or fish and the veggies of your liking.

Last week Dale and I went away for some study/prep time and I needed a supper meal that would come together without much fuss. That’s when I decided on a Foil Packet Dinner. It took me about 10 minutes to prep and 45 minutes to bake. There was lots of pay-off for such minimal effort! This was delicious!

Menu Monday

After a few weekends on the road, we’re home for a couple weeks. That means that my empty fridge needs to be stocked! The eggs, butter and condiments are lonely in there!

I’m still making my way through my pantry and freezer, but it’s scaled back enough that I’m purchasing a few items outside the “perishable only“ category.

I pulled up my Pinterest inspirations and made up my menu for lunches and suppers. These are mostly all new recipes to me! This will be spread out over the next two weeks with other freezer staples being used as well.

I created this menu on my phone while driving home from North Carolina, then took a screen shot to show you. I also made my shopping list on my phone while I created the menu. I usually do this in my planner when I’m home, but where there’s a will, there’s a way!

Making Frozen Leftovers Tonight’s Supper – The Easy Way!

 

What, oh what would I do without my freezer?  I’ve said it before, but my freezer is my best friend…well, you know what I mean.

It has supper waiting!
