Roasted Lemon and Pepper Chicken with Veggies

Hi everyone,

it has been so hectic preparing for the wedding (I still have to find shoes) and preparing for the muesli-making breakfast, and did I mention going to work? Its been fun but hectic, so when I tell you that I have had no time to make dinner, I mean I’ve had NO time. If it wasn’t for you guys, my family wouldn’t even have had this dinner, so they have you to thank for their meal.

This dinner takes no time at all, it’s delicious, nutritious covers all food groups and it really hits the spot.

This can be made for the family, for friends, weeknight or weekend. The lemon and pepper seasoning is really delicious and the crispy, roasted potatoes are to die for. I make them often. I didn’t put any spices on the vegetables because they don’t need it. As I said, there is enough on the potatoes and the chicken. I buy my lemon pepper seasoning from Green valley spices. I LOVE IT.
