Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Line a baking dish with aluminum foil, make sure it’s enough foil to wrap around the ingredients and make a packet with room for a vent.
Place the chicken, potatoes, onion, and sliced lemon in a large bowl and toss to coat with the olive oil.
Add the lemon juice, garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, kosher salt, red pepper, and black pepper, toss to coat again.
Arrange the potatoes, onion, and chicken in the middle of the foil and top with the thinly sliced lemon.
Close the ends of the packet and roll down the top of the foil packet leaving enough room to vent the heat.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches at least 165°F. Garnish with parsley if using and serve.
Notes
Chicken breasts can be substituted, see my tips above.
We do not recommend freezing this recipe.
This can be made a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
Make sure that you seal your foil well.
Drain off any liquid from the foil packets before serving.
You can use other potatoes besides red, see my tips above.
