Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt & black pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 3 cups baby potatoes, quartered
- 2 cups fresh green beans
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
Sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season them evenly with garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
- Toss Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, combine the quartered baby potatoes and fresh green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat all pieces thoroughly.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Spread the seasoned potatoes and green beans evenly across the bottom of the baking dish, then nestle the seasoned chicken breasts directly on top of the vegetables.
- Prepare Sauce and Drizzle: Whisk together the chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the baking dish.
- Roast to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes become tender when pierced with a fork.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the chicken slices with the roasted potatoes and green beans, drizzling any remaining pan sauce over the top for added flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it is fully cooked.
- If your baby potatoes are larger, you can cut them smaller to ensure even cooking.
- Feel free to swap green beans for other vegetables like asparagus or broccoli depending on your preference.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
