Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 bone-in, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp pepper (or to taste)
Vegetables
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp pepper (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for some heat)
Garnish (Optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or large baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with half of the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub evenly.
- Prepare the Potatoes and Green Beans: In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the remaining garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Add the trimmed green beans to the same bowl and toss with any remaining seasoning mixture. Optionally, sprinkle red pepper flakes for some heat.
- Assemble on the Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the center of the prepared baking sheet or dish. Arrange the seasoned potatoes around the chicken and scatter the green beans on the other side of the pan.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle everything with a little more olive oil if desired for extra crispness and flavor.
- Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender. For crispier potatoes, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
- Add Garnishes: Once everything is cooked, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and vegetables for added flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the chicken, potatoes, and green beans on plates and enjoy your simple, flavorful meal!
Notes
- Bone-in chicken breasts provide more flavor and moisture but can be substituted with boneless if preferred, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
- Adjust seasoning amounts to taste, especially salt and red pepper flakes for spice preference.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it is fully cooked for safety.
- For a vegetarian variation, substitute chicken with firm tofu or a plant-based chicken alternative and adjust cooking time.
