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 size portions.

I am SO excited to be a guest posting for the beautiful and super talented Liz of The Lemon Bowl. I’m all about making dinner time a little easier and sharing simple recipes, so when Liz asked me to guest post, I of course had to come up with a recipe that included lemon…I mean…it’s a no brainer, right? The Lemon Bowl? Liz loves lemons, I love lemons…if there’s ever a time when there’s not a lemon in the house, I’m pretty sure one should just declare a state of emergency.

I have been a long time follower of The Lemon Bowl and love all of Liz’s healthy living inspiration and amazing recipes (they actually turn out and are so yummy, I make her Sesame Crusted Baked Chicken Fingers all the time, and am pretty sure I’m going to have to invent a party and have people over just so I can make these 3 Ingredient Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms…because I’ve been seriously needing them in my life ever since she posted them!)

Last year I was fortunate enough to get to see Liz not once, but twice! Both at food blogging conferences: the first time I met Liz (picture on the left) was BlogHer Food in Miami, and the second time was at ChoppedCon in Kansas City (picture on the right). Two things I’d like to note 1-isn’t Liz just so gorgeous? And 2-aparently I’m a dork that wears name tags all the time lol!

After spending just a short few minutes speaking with Liz I felt so inspired and energized about life, that needless to say, I was inspired to guest post for her!

Best of all, this recipe is Whole30 if you can find a stone ground mustard without sugar (I found a brand named Koops and they had organic stone ground mustard with no added sugar!)

      I often marinate chicken fillets in lemon juice and per sure it’s a great combo of flavors and it allows chicken to cook very quick as it’s already very tender thanks to the lemon marinade. I’ll try your way to cook chicken fillets with lemon because it sounds fabulous served with these spinach and potatoes!

      I love how simple this is! And cutting chicken breasts in half is such a great idea! Liz’s blog sounds so good, and since we’re name twins I pretty much have to give it a look 😉
