It's so quick and easy that it's the perfect one-dish weeknight dinner. Also terrific for company or holiday dinners like Easter, Mother's Day or Father's Day.

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic from a jar or two cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 10 oz. sunburst cherry tomatoes
  • 10 oz. grape tomatoes
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning for garnish
  • t tsp. Salt and pepper for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Spray two large 10x15” baking dishes with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Place chicken pieces into the dishes. (Avoid overcrowding).
  • Place potatoes around the edge of the baking dish.
  • Arrange red onion rings over top of chicken and potatoes.
  • Slice two small lemons thinly, and place over top of the chicken and potatoes.
  • Mix olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Stir to combine and drizzle over chicken and veggies.
  • Sprinkle heavily with more Italian seasoning and salt and pepper.
  • Bake about 45 minutes at 400°.
  • Add tomatoes.
  • Bake an additional 45-60 minutes or until tomatoes are soft and chicken is cooked through. (Some larger pieces may take longer).

Notes

NOTE: If food starts browning too much, tent with foil after about 60 minutes.
 
NOTE: Because the chicken breasts were so huge they took up almost the whole baking dish, I spread the mixture into two 10x15” glass baking pans so the meat would not be crowded and cook more quickly.
 
NOTE: Remove lemon slices before serving.
