This Lemon Garlic Herb Roasted Chicken and Potatoes is so simple and a proven crowd pleaser!

This lemon Garlic Herb Roasted Chicken and potatoes is a winner of a chicken dinner in my book! Perfect for a weeknight meal or Sunday Supper. Once you make this easy one-pot dish you will make it over and over again!

You can make this recipe in many different ways. I like to use my Cast Iron Dutch Oven but you could use a roasting pan if you want. I am a huge lover of Herbes de Provence the flavors are just fantastic with poultry. But you could easily substitute it out for some Rosemary and thyme. I like to cook the potatoes about 40 minutes ahead of the chicken to make sure they are soft and delicious.

The lemon adds so much freshness to this dish.

I love one-pot meals! I seriously hate doing dishes, so whenever I make a one-pot meal just totally makes my night. My Beef Short Ribs Braised in Red Wine is another one-pot meal that doesn't disappoint.

I have gotta say I love the potatoes and carrots just as much as the chicken. All the juices from the chicken soak into the potatoes. Plus those ever so deliciously sweet carrots and onions...YUM!!

Yay Linnea, so happy everybody loved it 🙂
My daughter and son-in-law were here for an extended weekend and I made two separate dishes of this recipe and we all give you 5 stars. It’s excellent. I used the rosemary and thyme and it worked out so well. My daughter heated some of the leftovers before they left and the house smells so good. I bought organic carrots and they were so tasty in this recipe. The way the lemon cooked in it added so much flavor. I put the dish under the broiler to crisp up the chicken as you said and it worked out great. My daughter told me to not lose this recipe. I shall be making it again. So happy I made the two recipes for leftovers. Thank you.
