Ingredients

• 16 baby new potatoes, halved
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, plus 2 teaspoons

Preparation

Step 1

Place the potatoes, chicken stock, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
