Kids Cook - Lemon Garlic Chicken

Kids Cook!

Mom needs a break from the kitchen...so why not turn control over to the kids and let them cook dinner...well with boundaries of course! 

Kids cook is when the kids get together and make dinner for their families!  The best part is that it gives them a sense of accomplishment when Mom and Dad thank them for dinner!
 Everything is prepared ahead of time to make it easy for the kids to cook.

Recipe: Lemon Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

• Chicken (it can be any type - legs, thighs, breasts whatever.  Personally I use half a chicken for my family so that is a thigh, leg, breast and tender)
• Potatoes quartered (I used 4 small gold and 6 small red)
• 2 handfuls of green beans
• 2-3 Lemons (depending on how juicy they are)
• 5 Tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic

Prep Work

• Rinse Chicken
• Quarter the potatoes
• Snap the green beans (take off only the stem end of the bean)
• Slice 1 lemon
• Juice the remaining lemons (you want about 1/3 a cup of juice or a little more is just fine) and add to the garlic (chopped) and 4 tablespoons of oil - this is the sauce

 Kid's Turn

• First the kids got a little bit of oil in their dish (about a tablespoon) 
• They moved their dish so that the oiled covered most of their pan
• Then make a layer of the lemons
• Next layer is the green beans
• The potatoes go around the edges
• Then the chicken goes on top of the green beans
• And the sauce goes on top of everything

 Cooking Instructions

• Put in 450 degree oven for 50 minutes covered.
• Then take the cover off and cook 10 more minutes.
• Enjoy!
