Chicken with lemon is a winning combination and when you add to that plenty of potatoes and sweet potatoes and olive oil, it's no wonder the kids love it too. I love to make the lemon chicken the most before the holiday. one evening, my beloved mother-in-law brought me a bag of lemons from her tree that was torn under the burden of fruit. The lemons were yellow, fragrant, and juicy, and it was clear to me that I had to do something special with them.

When I started making the chicken pan for Friday dinner, I thought the lemons would go well with the chicken pieces. Everyone devoured the dish, and really liked it and we decided that it would be special for the holiday because of its taste. The potatoes come out so soft in the mouth that it's just perfect.
