Ingredients
Chicken Cheese Kabobs
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F. On a plate, mix together the flour, black pepper, and paprika, then lightly coat the chicken pieces in this mixture. Heat some oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook it for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until it's nicely browned all over. Take the chicken out and set it aside, then pour off any excess fat from the skillet.
Step 2
Add the onions and potatoes to the skillet and cook them for around 5 minutes, stirring now and then so they don’t stick. Toss in the carrots, then pour in the stock and lemon juice, sprinkle the oregano over everything, and bring it all up to a gentle boil. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet, cover it with a lid, and pop it in the oven.
Step 3
Let it roast for 25 minutes, then take the lid off and continue roasting uncovered for another 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender. If you like, sprinkle some fresh thyme over the top before serving for a lovely herbal touch.

Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the stove to keep the chicken skin from getting soggy. Vegetables can be reheated with a splash of water to maintain their texture.
