Lemon Thyme Chicken with Fingerling Potatoes

This easy and delicious chicken and potatoes dinner cooks all in one pan!

Not only is this meal pretty to look at, it’s mighty pretty to eat too!

The original recipe came from BHG, with a few minor changes from me.

I’m not using fresh garlic, but garlic powder because it just seemed better for sprinkling over the chicken. Also, I used butter, not oil, because of the flavor factor.

It seemed the potatoes needed an added kick, so what’s better to use than cheese? I used romano and the potatoes could be a meal in themselves.

This dinner comes together pretty quickly and cooks all in one skillet. But you do need a large one. I used a 12-inch and it was perfect for this.
