Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 chicken breasts
Main Vegetables:
- 1 lb baby potatoes
- 1 lb green beans
Seasonings and Extras:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Crank your oven to 425°F and lightly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Slice 1 lb baby potatoes into halves or quarters so each piece looks bite-sized and uniform.
- Snip the tough ends off 1 lb green beans and give them a quick rinse under cool water.
- Grab 4 chicken breasts and gently blot them dry with paper towels to help seasonings stick perfectly.
- Whisk 2 tbsp olive oil with 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper in a small bowl.
- Spread chicken breasts, potatoes, and green beans across the baking sheet, creating a single layer without crowding.
- Drizzle the seasoned oil mixture over everything, then use your hands to toss and ensure complete coverage.
- Position chicken breasts right in the center of the sheet, then nestle potatoes and green beans around them.
- Generously dust ½ cup parmesan cheese over the entire dish, creating a light, cheesy blanket.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 425°F oven and roast for 22-25 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the sheet and let everything rest for 5 minutes to lock in those delicious juices.
- Sprinkle some fresh herbs or extra parmesan on top for a beautiful finishing touch.
Notes
- Always pat chicken breasts completely dry before seasoning to help the spices stick and create a better crust.
- Cut potatoes into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly and have consistent texture throughout the dish.
- For a gluten-free version, verify that your Italian seasoning blend is certified gluten-free and does not contain wheat-based additives.
- If feeding a crowd, this recipe scales easily by using a larger baking sheet and adjusting ingredient quantities proportionally.
