This delicious Mustard Lemon Chicken and Potatoes is a great dinner that has tons of flavor and hints of subtle yet zippy lemon.
Today I’m sharing with you how to make this mustard lemon chicken and potatoes dinner. What I love about this meal is that it comes together very quickly and has tons of flavors that meld together perfectly.
A little tip that I’ve learned in my quest to becoming healthier is that you can cut chicken breasts in half as a great way to practice portion control. You still get a glorious meal; you just have an easier time eating the right sized portions.

I did it today for my family and they loved it, but i cooked it for an hour and 20 covering the baking dish with a tin foil for cooking better the potatoes and chicken. Thanks for sharing i’ll try other recipes of yours
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!
Made this again yesterday. Sliced the potatoes much thinner, and they came out nearly cooked this time. I think next time I’m going to try putting them in for 10 minutes before adding the spinach and chicken.
My boyfriend got to try this for the first time! Last time I made it he was too sick to really eat anything. Not only did he say this is the best chicken he’s ever had, but his ridiculously sensitive system had no problem with it! Thanks so much for this recipe!
Oh I’m so happy to hear this!!!
I pretty much make a double batch of this every week now. Gives me work dinners throughout the week in addition to feeding my boyfriend. I’m adding more potatoes and baking them on their own for 20-30 minutes before adding everything on top of them. Positively amazing! Thanks again for the recipe!
Oh my gosh I love that!! What a smart idea!!
I’m back at this again! lol For some reason I never really doubled the potatoes even though I doubled everything else. Now that I’m doing that, I bake them by themselves (with the olive oil, salt, and pepper), covered with foil, for 30 minutes, stir, then throw everything on top. The potatoes have to be cut fairly thin or else they’ll still be a little on the crunch side, but otherwise this is perfect for microwaved leftovers. :D Also, I go heavy on the spinach. A 7 oz container seems to do it nicely for me–and saves me from washing a measuring cup. lol (And from having precious space in the fridge taken up by a partially-full container of spinach.)
That sounds incredible!!!!
Made this Monday and it was AMAZING. I cut the chicken the wrong way (oh well… lol) and used too large of potatoes (I had to take the chicken and spinach off so I could put them back in for a while, with foil over the top). The spinach got dried out in some places, one leaf even baking itself to the side of the dish so I had to soak the thing to get it off. The potatoes were almost too peppery, but maybe that’s ’cause I didn’t stir them around enough. I am absolutely going to make this again! So easy, so delicious! And I am a total sucker for lemon. :D
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!! Yay!!
This sounds tasty! How would the baking time change if I have the chicken breasts pre-cut in half (lengthwise)?
I would cut it in half and start checking from there?
Looks so simple and so good! I love the combo of lemon and mustard together…Thanks for sharing!
Enjoy!
Looks delicious, and the perfect weeknight dinner!
Thank you Nicole!!
What a great dinner idea! My family would love this!!
They totally would!! Thanks Jenny!
This looks so delicious! YUM!
Thanks Gaby!
This looks amazing! Do you think this would work in the slowcooker?
Yes I bet it would although you might want to add the spinach in at the end!
Love an easy flavorful dinner like this. My kids would devour this (and so would I). :)
