Place the lemon slices on top of the chicken and vegetables
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender
Notes
Use a large enough pan: Make sure to use a large baking sheet or roasting pan so that the chicken and vegetables have enough space to cook evenly without overcrowding.
Cut the vegetables into similar sizes: Cut the vegetables into similar sizes so that they cook evenly. This also helps ensure that they all finish cooking at the same time.
Use fresh lemon juice: For the best flavor, use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled juice.
Marinate the chicken: For even more flavor, marinate the chicken in the lemon garlic sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Add other seasonings: Feel free to add other seasonings to the dish, such as smoked paprika or cumin, to change up the flavor.
Use parchment paper or non-stick spray: To prevent sticking, line the baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Broil at the end: For a crispier skin on the chicken, broil it on high for the last few minutes of cooking.
Serve with a side: This dish is great on its own, but it's even better served with a side of rice, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious lemon garlic sauce.
