Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Vegetables
- 3 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Season the Chicken
In a bowl, rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Set aside to marinate while prepping the vegetables.
Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables
Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on the sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes to get a head start.
Step 4: Add Chicken & Green Beans
Remove the pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side. Add the chicken breasts and green beans to the pan. Drizzle the beans with a bit of olive oil and season lightly.
Step 5: Bake Everything Together
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and potatoes are fork-tender. For a golden finish, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
Step 6: Serve
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for extra brightness.
