These one pan lemon chicken leg quarters with Little Potatoes is the perfect weeknight dinner meal! They only need a little prep, and one dish!

Notes:

Pre-cooking the potatoes slightly ensures they will be cooked through when the chicken is complete. Other cuts of chicken are welcome, but cook-time will need to be adjusted.

For a crispier skin, broil chicken for a couple of minutes!
