Ingredients
Main Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
-
1½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
-
12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
Garlic Herb Seasoning
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
½ teaspoon dried rosemary (or Italian seasoning)
Optional:
-
Fresh lemon slices

Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes
Place the halved potatoes in a bowl. Drizzle with 1½ tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with half of the garlic herb seasoning. Toss until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes to give them a head start.
Step 3: Season the Chicken
While the potatoes are roasting, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub with the remaining olive oil and garlic herb seasoning, making sure each piece is well coated.
Step 4: Add Chicken and Green Beans
Remove the pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side and place the chicken on the pan. Add the green beans to the remaining space and lightly drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 5: Roast Until Done
Return the pan to the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, or until:
-
The chicken is fully cooked and juicy
-
The potatoes are tender and golden
-
The green beans are crisp-tender
For extra color, switch the oven to broil for the last 2–3 minutes, watching closely.
