Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 1 1/2 lb chicken breast (about 3–4 pieces), approx. 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (Italian or plain; you can add 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning to plain breadcrumbs)
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
For the Potatoes:
- 2 lb red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces (quartered if small, larger cut into 6ths or 8ths)
- 1 – 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Green Beans:
- 1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray it with cooking oil for easier cleanup. In a medium bowl, toss the red potatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes on one-third of the prepared sheet pan and bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on your preference for browning.
- Prepare and Add Chicken: While the potatoes begin roasting, use the same bowl to mix together olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, cracked pepper, and salt for the chicken. Coat the chicken pieces thoroughly with this mixture. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and arrange the coated chicken breasts next to the potatoes. Return the pan to the oven.
- Toss and Add Green Beans: Meanwhile, in the same bowl, toss green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan (if using), salt, and pepper. After adding the chicken to the pan, add the green beans to the remaining section of the sheet pan.
- Bake Until Done: Bake the entire sheet pan dinner for about 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the green beans are tender.
- Optional Broil for Crispiness: For extra crispy potatoes, switch your oven to broil on high and broil for an additional 4-5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and allow the chicken and vegetables to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty and delicious one-pan meal!
Notes
- If you prefer extra crispy potatoes, broil them for a few minutes at the end of cooking.
- Italian seasoning can be added to plain breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely to 165°F.
- Adjust salt and pepper amounts to taste throughout the recipe.
- Sheet pan size should be large enough to hold all ingredients without overcrowding for even cooking.
- Parmesan cheese on the green beans is optional but adds a nice flavor boost.
