Chicken and potatoes with lemon and honey


This is just one of those great meals that takes five minutes to prepare, its all in one roasting tin and its perfect for warm Summer evenings. Chicken, lemon and honey is a winning combination. Mixed with the red onion and lemon wedges and roasted alongside the chicken and potatoes you end up with a lovely caramelised flavour and tartness of the lemons. I served mine with a green salad, but green vegetables would be a good accompaniment too. 


Ingredients 
Serves 4
4 chicken breasts
new potatoes, approx 800g
2 lemons, quartered
2 red onions, quartered
olive oil
clear runny honey
salt and black pepper
Garlic cloves (optional)

Method

Heat the oven to 190ºC

Cut the potatoes in half if they are on the large side. Place them in the roasting tray with the chicken breasts. Add the segments of lemon and onion, place randomly amongst the chicken and potatoes. Add garlic cloves in their skins if you want. Season well and drizzle with the olive oil. Be generous with the honey as this will give you the nice caramelised flavour. Cook until the potatoes and chicken are golden, and the chicken is cooked through. Serve with a nicely dressed green salad.
