This vibrant recipe is the perfect option for a relaxed evening indulgence, or a long and lazy weekend lunch (preferably in the garden with the sun warming your face - we can all dream!). Roasted lemon chicken and potatoes is a fresh and modern take on the roast dinner - it is lighter and fresher but just as satisfying.
This is a recipe I enjoy all year round, but particularly in spring. As those dark winter days stretch out, the bright sunlight pokes a head from behind grey clouds and the temperature rises, I find myself reaching for zestier, brighter flavours. But I still want them in combination with the comfort and warmth of heartier ingredients. The perfect roast potatoes hit the bill here, and I can’t think of a better mouthful right now than delicate, citrus-infused chicken to go with them. I hope you enjoy!
