There is nothing better than a lazy Sunday. Especially if that lazy Sunday includes an incredibly easy yet fancy Sunday Dinner. This Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken is a stunning sight lined with lemon slices and tastes as good as it looks. Plus is a simple one pot wonder when you make it with Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts.
It is rare to hear someone say that they are not busy these days! It seems like the older I get the more hectic life is becoming! Which is why I love meals like this Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts. Not only does it look like I spent all day working on this masterpiece when honestly, I was probably cleaning my house and getting my kids caught up on school work, but it also has a fresh zesty melt in your mouth spring flavor.
Well, I don’t know about you, but I have a feeling this year is going to go by super-fast, it’s already Mid-April. Spring, even though many states are still getting snow!
Since time is flying by I find that some days it is hard to stay on track with my eating healthy goals. The temptation to go to the drive-through and save time and energy is real. But! I know now more than ever, teaching my kids good eating habits are essential and even though cooking some days is a hassle I must save those drive-through nights for rewards rather than convenience.
The time restraints for cooking meals has really grown my love for one-pot wonders and sheet pan meals. Typically, prep is a quick and simple, plus, fewer dishes needing to be washed which saves even more time at the end of the day.
This Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts is no different than any other one pot wonder. I love to cook it in my cast iron skillet or large Dutch oven. Perfect for Sunday Dinner. While you are getting ready for the week ahead, your dinner can be cooking in the oven. Or if you are having a special guest you want to wow, trust me they will think you spent all day in the kitchen prepping this meal when it took you less than 20 minutes to prep and you took some much-needed self-time.
See what is there not to love about a simple eye-catching, zesty, melt in your mouth Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts. It fits into your busy days, a simple and quick fresh spring flavors throw together one pot wonder. Now that calls for a mom celebration dance!!!
Now all that is left is for you to pour yourself a drink, crank up the tunes, and get to cook’n!

We roast a chicken almost every Sunday! I try to eat more meatless meals during the week so the leftovers always give me an option to toss into my families dishes.
This looks great!! I’ll have to try!
Thank you so much!!
This looks so freaking good! My roomie and I are having a roomie cooking date tomorrow night, and we haven’t decided on what to cook yet. I may have to grow this into the list of possibilities. Yum!
Thank you so much!! It is the perfect lazy day cooking day dish! Prep cook and just relax and get caught up with life!! I hope you and your roomie enjoy!
This chicken was great! I mixed all of the spices, olive oil and lemmon juice and rubbed it under the skin of the chicken and then over the top of the skin and poured the remainder in the cavity. I put about 3/4 cup water in the bottom of the pan and baked the chicken upsidedown with the breasts in the juices. I covered the whole thing in foil and in 2 hours the flavorful meat was falling off the bones. My company raved and everyone ate way too much. Served with baked apples, green beans and fresh bread. Delicious! Hanifia
Thank you so much!! I am glad you and your company loved it!!
