This.
This is what took the stress out of my Sunday morning this week.
I woke up knowing that this gorgeous Oven Roasted Lemon Greek Chicken was all prepared in the fridge and ready to pop into the oven.
No worries about finding something to feed everyone when we returned from church.
Ah… such a nice, comforting thought!

 This is a favorite Sunday afternoon lunch. You can assemble it in about 10 minutes the night before and then just bake it while you're gone to church. Come home to a delicious and healthy meal!

And a comforting meal too! Great for cold Sunday afternoons.
You’ll feel like a rock star homemaker and no one has to know it only took you about 10 minutes to prepare! You could even get away with taking a nap after putting a meal like this on the table!

This is a favorite Sunday afternoon lunch. You can assemble it in about 10 minutes the night before and then just bake it while you're gone to church. Come home to a delicious and healthy meal!  Just don’t tell anyone that all you had to do was chop some potatoes, red pepper and red onion, mix some spices, and put it all in a pan with some chicken!
They won’t hear it from me, I promise.


I’m thinking about trying this one in the Crock Pot too. I imagine it would be just as yummy, and then you’d have the flexibility of being away from the house longer while it cooks. I’ll put that on my to-do list.

  2. Combine zest, juice, oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; mix well.
  3. Place chicken in bottom of a roasting pan or dutch oven.
  4. Using a silicone basting brush, brush each piece of chicken with the lemon and spice mixture. (You won't use it all just yet.)
  5. Cut potatoes in slices, leaving the skin on but cutting out unattractive spots.
  6. Cut bell pepper into 1-inch chunks.
  7. Cut onion into 1-inch wedges.
  8. Thinly slice remaining lemon. Combine potatoes, bell pepper, onion, and lemon slices with remaining lemon juice mixture and toss to coat.
