For the Chicken:

• 1 ½ lb chicken breast (about 3-4 pieces, approx. 1 inch thick)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• ⅓ cup grated parmesan

• ⅓ cup breadcrumbs (Italian or plain; add 1 tsp Italian seasoning to plain breadcrumbs)

• ½ teaspoon cracked pepper

• ½ – ¾ teaspoon sea salt

For the Potatoes:

• 2 lb red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces (quarter small potatoes, larger ones cut into 6-8 pieces)

• 1-2 garlic cloves, minced

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Green Beans:

• 1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• 1 tablespoon parmesan (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat the Oven:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleaning, or spray with cooking oil.

Prepare the Potatoes:

1. In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with garlic, olive oil, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper.

2. Spread the potatoes on one-third of the sheet pan and bake for 10-15 minutes. (For extra-browned potatoes, bake for the full 15 minutes.)

Prepare the Chicken:

1. While the potatoes are cooking, mix the chicken ingredients—olive oil, minced garlic, parmesan, breadcrumbs, cracked pepper, and sea salt—in a small bowl.

2. Coat the chicken evenly with the mixture.

Add the Chicken:

1. After the potatoes have cooked for about 10-15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and add the chicken to the other section of the pan.

Prepare the Green Beans:

1. In the same bowl used for the chicken, toss the green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, parmesan (optional), and salt and pepper.

2. Add the green beans to the remaining section of the sheet pan.

Bake:

1. Return the pan to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For crispier potatoes, switch the oven to broil on high for 4-5 more minutes.

Serve:

1. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

2. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, hassle-free meal!

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

Can I use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes, boneless, skinless chicken thighs work perfectly in this recipe. They may take a little longer to cook than chicken breasts, so be sure to check the internal temperature to ensure they reach 165°F (74°C).

Can I use a different type of potato?

Absolutely! While red potatoes work well, you can substitute with Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. Just adjust the cooking time based on the size and type of potatoes you use.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the potatoes and chicken mixture ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. Just add the green beans right before baking.

Can I use frozen green beans?

Yes, you can use frozen green beans, but fresh green beans have a better texture. If using frozen, thaw them and pat them dry before seasoning and adding to the pan.

Can I make this recipe with a different seasoning?

Absolutely! If you want to experiment with flavors, you can swap the Italian seasoning for other herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano, or use a spice blend that suits your tastes.

How do I know when the chicken is done?

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken—it should reach 165°F (74°C). Alternatively, you can cut into the thickest part of the chicken to ensure the juices run clear and there’s no pink inside.
