Lemon Skillet Chicken
I can’t believe it! It’s the first day of school, I think I’m going to cry! Yes, I’m one of those crazy moms that miss their kids when they go to school, even if it’s my 5th and 6th child.
Both of my girls got up before the alarm went off and they were super nervous. My Andie and Lisa are both starting new schools this year and so every scenario of things that could go wrong, have been dancing through their heads all night long.
This also means the crazy schedules are about to start and I need to get a game plan ready.
I want my family to eat healthily and have delicious things that remind them of home but time is always a big issue and it’s so easy to get in the habit of running through McDonald’s drive-thru and ordering from the value menu!
I’m in love with the one-skillet meals (+one plate and bowl). So easy to throw together but they are so good!!!!!!! This is a perfect meal for any day of the week and fancy enough for Sunday dinner. Good luck moms!

12 ounces baby red potatoes, halved

2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup milk
5 teaspoons flour
1 3/4 cups chicken stock

Cook chicken until it is browned on both sides. Place pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or chicken is done. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Return the pan to the stovetop on medium heat. Add a Tablespoon of oil and then add the potatoes with the cut sides down. Cook for 3 minutes or until they are golden brown, and remove potatoes: set aside.

yum! That looks delicious! I think anything looks a little more tasty in a cast iron skillet… but I am sure I would eat this out of anything it was offered to me in! 😉
This sounds insanely delicious! Lemon is one of my favorite flavors with chicken so I'll definitely have to try it!
This meal looks fantastic.
I've had those back to school jitters myself, including a full on panic the night before that I REALLY just wasn't doing enough and hadn't done enough (to help!) in the summer at all 🙁
