Skillet Lemon Chicken Breast Dinner

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

Step 2

On the stovetop, heat a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 3

Cover and continue to simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, pat the chicken breasts dry and season them with salt, pepper, and thyme.

Step 5

Remove the lid and add the chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.

Step 6

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Step 7

Place a chicken breast on each plate and top it with 1/2 cup of the arugula. Drizzle the pan juices over the arugula and serve the potatoes on the side.
