Roasted Lemon Chicken & Green Beans

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemons, 1/2 thinly sliced, 1/2 juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound trimmed green beans
2 chicken breasts

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a 8x8 baking dish or cast-iron skillet with 3/4 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. 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 40 minutes.
4. Serve warm.

I am always looking for different ways to cook chicken. I came across this recipe and did a little tweaking to make it Paleo friendly. I loved it so much I have made it twice this week. Green beans are in season and at the farmer's markets for only $1 per lbs. It is so quick, easy and makes for excellent left overs.

Enjoy! =)
