The Baked Lemon Garlic Chicken with green beans and potatoes is an easy low cost family dinner. This one pan chicken and veggies recipe takes very little time to prep and requires little cleanup as it is baked in one dish.
Coming up with healthy recipes has always been difficult for me. I’ve never been one to watch what I eat and I tend to just grab what I’m craving and don’t think about it twice. As we try to incorporate healthier options into our diet, I have been searching for easy one dish dinners where I can just dump everything in to one pan and cook. Chicken is one of my go-to meats as it often cheap, lean, and is a good source of protein. While my husband prefers red meat, I’d be perfectly happy with chicken for dinner every night of the week.

As a busy mom of two little boys, I’m all for these one dish dinners. There’s very little measuring involved and I only need to dirty one dish. Less cleanup = one happy mom.
