Ingredients

For the Chicken and Vegetables:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups green beans, trimmed

For the Seasoning:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Preparation

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

  1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Rub this flavorful mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 3: Arrange the Ingredients

  1. In a large baking dish or sheet pan, place the seasoned chicken breasts in the center.
  2. Surround the chicken with the halved baby potatoes on one side and the green beans on the other side.
  3. Drizzle any remaining seasoning mixture over the vegetables. Toss the potatoes and green beans gently to coat them evenly.

Step 4: Roast

  1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until:
    • The chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
    • The potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown.

Step 5: Rest and Garnish

  1. Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute in the chicken.
  2. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Cooking Notes

  • Uniform Sizing: Cut the baby potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Green Bean Tips: If you prefer your green beans to stay crisp, add them to the pan halfway through cooking.
  • Sheet Pan Alternative: If using a sheet pan, line it with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Serving Suggestions

  • Enhance the Flavor: Drizzle a light lemon vinaigrette over the green beans for a zesty twist.
  • Pair It Up: Serve with a crusty baguette or a side of quinoa for an extra hearty meal.
  • For the Sauce Lover: A dollop of garlic aioli or tzatziki sauce pairs wonderfully with this dish.

Tips

  1. Marinate for Depth: Marinate the chicken for 1–2 hours in the seasoning mixture for even more flavor.
  2. Use Chicken Thighs: Swap chicken breasts with bone-in, skin-on thighs for a juicier option. Adjust the cooking time to 35–40 minutes.
  3. Add Variety: Include other veggies like carrots, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes for a more colorful dish.
