How to make one pan lemon chicken and potatoes

- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, broth, herbs and spices. Pour half of the marinade over the potatoes and mix well to combine.
- Place the chicken on top of the potatoes and pour the remaining marinade. Sprinkle the chicken with a little freshly ground black pepper if desired.
