Lemon Chicken + Vegetable One-Pot Meal

Discover the story
When we came across a version of this one-pot recipe, we knew we had to head straight to the WOT Test Kitchen!

We were inspired by a recipe we saw by Spoonful of Flavor and wanted to share our twist for this one-pot meal with our community. Because who doesn’t love an entire meal that can be made in one pot?!

This dish turned out to be a total winner! It’s a great meal and packed with a lot of flavors. It is also really easy to prepare (yay) and you might find you have a lot of the ingredients already in your kitchen!
