Herb Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Peas

This is a delicious, savoury chicken dish to warm you up on a cold winter day. You do not need to add salt to this dish as the herbs and spices give it a wonderful flavour and keep the sodium content low. This recipe serves 4 but can easily be doubled. Enjoy!

Ingredients

8 Fingerling potatoes, washed but not peeled

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp picante hot sauce (low sodium)

1 tbsp dried oregano, basil and parsley

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded to about 1 inch thickness

1 cup frozen peas

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving



Directions

  1. Heat oven to 450° F with a rack in the highest position. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes with the oil and pepper. Season the chicken with herbs and spices and pepper and brush with oil.
  2. Nestle the chicken in the potatoes and roast, tossing the potatoes once, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
  3. Add the peas to the chicken and potatoes and continue to roast until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle with the lemon juice and serve with the lemon wedges.
