I promised on Easy Budget Meal Planning Monday to share this Easy Lemon Chicken with Asparagus and Potatoes recipe. It is a one tray recipe and if you shop the specials can be a cheap but impressive looking meal. I love a great traybake and one tray means less washing up. This recipe was made on a budget which I break down for you below.
The cost of Easy Lemon Chicken with Asparagus and Potatoes
- Chicken – € 9.99 for Ten so 3.99 for 4
- Asparagus – 49c ( special )
- New Potatoes 99c
- Lemon 49c
Just under €6.00 so €1.50 a portion.
I have been experimenting with videos – let me know if you like them or not, I am trying to improve my skills honestly!!

I hope you enjoyed this easy recipe I have a few One-dish recipes or Easy recipes you can try to make dinner time easier.

If you have a large family you could make two trays. Chicken breasts are expensive so if you wanted to make this with Chicken legs or thighs but I suggest you cook the asparagus, separately and for less time.

This one is right up my alley Amber, I love recipes that go in the oven and I don’t have to use a ton of pots and this combination is so delicious!
Me too Katrin – sometimes you just need an easier dish.
Hey Amber! I love anything lemon, and I bet this would be good with just the potatoes and asparagus for a tasty vegan side dish. Thanks for the inspiration, and I hope you are doing well!
Of course or you could and Quorn or Mushrooms
