One-Pan Garlic Herb Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans
Ingredients (Serves 4)
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
-
450 grams baby potatoes, halved
-
250 grams green beans, trimmed
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
-
½ teaspoon paprika
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
Juice of ½ lemon (optional)
-
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
-
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
-
Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the marinade
-
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
This mixture will be used to coat both the chicken and the vegetables.
Step 3: Season the chicken
-
Place the chicken breasts or thighs in a large bowl.
-
Spoon about one-third of the garlic herb mixture over the chicken.
-
Rub the seasoning in to coat all sides. Set aside to marinate briefly while preparing the vegetables.
Step 4: Prepare the vegetables
-
In a separate bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with about one-third of the herb mixture.
-
Spread them out evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Roast the potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes to give them a head start.
Step 5: Add chicken and green beans
-
After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the tray from the oven.
-
Push the potatoes to one side of the pan.
-
Place the seasoned chicken in the center of the pan.
-
Toss the green beans with the remaining herb mixture, then place them on the other side of the pan.
Step 6: Bake
-
Return the tray to the oven.
-
Bake everything together for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
-
If desired, broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end to brown the top slightly.
Step 7: Rest and serve
-
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
-
Squeeze lemon juice over the top for extra brightness (optional).
-
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
-
Serve everything directly from the pan or plate it individually.
Tips
-
You can substitute carrots, broccoli, or asparagus for the green beans.
-
For crispier potatoes, parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting.
-
Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs can be used for more flavor but may require a longer cook time.
