Ingredients

1 1/2 lb chicken breast (about 3-4 pieces), approx. 1 inch thick

2 tablespoons olive oil (for chicken)

2 garlic cloves, minced (for chicken)

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for chicken)

1/3 cup breadcrumbs, Italian or plain (add 1 tsp Italian seasoning if using plain)

1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper (for chicken)

1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon sea salt (for chicken)

2 lb red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces

1–2 garlic cloves, minced (for potatoes)

2 tablespoons olive oil (for potatoes)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (for potatoes)

Salt and pepper to taste (for potatoes)

1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed

1 tablespoon olive oil (for green beans)

1 garlic clove, minced (for green beans)

1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (optional, for green beans)

Salt and pepper to taste (for green beans)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray it with cooking oil for easy cleanup.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes over one-third of the sheet pan and roast in the oven for 10–15 minutes, depending on how browned you like them.

Step 3: While the potatoes cook, use the same bowl to combine chicken breasts with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, cracked pepper, and sea salt. Toss well to coat all the chicken pieces completely.

Step 4: Remove the pan from the oven, add the coated chicken breasts to the pan next to the potatoes, and return the pan to the oven.

Step 5: Meanwhile, toss green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan (if using), salt, and pepper. After adding the chicken, spread the green beans on the remaining third of the pan.

Step 6: Bake for about 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.

Step 7: For extra crispy potatoes, switch the oven to broil on high and broil for 4-5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Step 8: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let everything rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your easy, delicious meal!

Tips & Variations

Use Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs if you want an extra boost of herb flavor in the chicken crust.

Try swapping red potatoes for sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter and colorful twist.

If you prefer, use frozen green beans but reduce the cooking time slightly to keep them crisp.

Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the green beans before serving brightens the dish.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes, boneless, skinless chicken thighs work well and tend to stay moist. Adjust cooking time slightly as thighs may take a bit longer.

What can I use if I don’t have Parmesan cheese?

Grated Pecorino Romano or Asiago cheeses are good substitutes. If none are available, nutritional yeast can add a cheesy flavor for a dairy-free option.
