Baked Honey Lemon Chicken and Potatoes
Fast, easy dinners with zero cleanup that are packed with so much flavor are always winners. My family loved the moist, juicy, honey lemon chicken and the tender, roasted potatoes. The honey lemon marinade drips from the chicken during baking, which lightly coats the potatoes in a tangy-sweet sauce. I adapted the marinade from one of my daughter’s favorite meals, which is also a reader favorite. Fresh rosemary perfumes the entire dish beautifully. Chicken, potatoes, and rosemary were made for each other. It doesn’t get any easier than chopping up potatoes and vegetables, drizzling with olive oil, and placing marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet. Since I lined it with foil, cleanup was as easy as tossing away the foil!

How to Make Honey Lemon Chicken and Potatoes
I love how quick and easy this honey lemon pepper chicken recipe is to throw together! Be sure to line your pan with foil to make cleanup even easier.
Can This Recipe Be Prepared in Advance?
Yes! Although I think it’s best fresh as that’s when the honey lemon chicken thighs will be crispiest. But with that said, chicken and potatoes is a great make-ahead meal that reheats well during the week.
What to Serve with Baked Honey Lemon Chicken
The honey lemon pepper chicken and potatoes is already a meal in itself, so I like to keep any additional sides super simple. A green side salad, steamed or roasted broccoli, sautéed green beans, or something similar would be perfect to round things out!
Tips for Making Honey Lemon Chicken Thighs
I used Yukon gold potatoes but you can use your favorites from sweet potatoes to Russet. Make sure to cut them small enough so they cook through in the same amount of time it takes the chicken to cook. I recommend 1/2-inch pieces. I prefer using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs to make this recipe. Chicken thighs remain juicier than breasts, and the skin adds so much flavor! However, you can certainly adapt this recipe to make chicken breasts, if desired. Adjust the cook time as needed.
