I made this dish on Tuesday and it was so delicious and smelled great cooking away all afternoon. I definitely recommend it!

Lemon Chicken & Potatoes

1/4 tsp paprika
3 Tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 large onion, cut into wedges
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp light soy sauce
8 small Yukon Gold or baby potatoes, scrubbed
