Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast (3-4 pieces), about 1 inch thick
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (Italian or plain)
- 1/2 tsp cracked pepper
- 1/2 – 3/4 tsp sea salt
For the Potatoes:
- 2 lbs red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1–2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Green Beans:
- 1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray it with cooking oil for easier cleanup.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Spread them on one-third of the sheet pan and bake for 10-15 minutes to give them a head start.
- Prepare the Chicken: While the potatoes cook, mix the chicken with olive oil, garlic, parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in the same bowl. Once the potatoes have pre-cooked, shift them to one side of the sheet pan and add the chicken to the center.
- Add the Green Beans: Toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic, and seasonings. Add them to the remaining third of the pan.
- Bake Everything Together: Return the pan to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. For extra crispy potatoes, broil for 3-4 minutes at the end.
- Rest & Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious, mess-free sheet pan meal!
Tips & Variations:
- Even Cooking: Pound thicker chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Extra Crispiness: Use a baking rack on the sheet pan to allow moisture to drip away from the chicken.
- Flavor Boost: Add Italian seasoning or a sprinkle of oregano to the chicken and potatoes for an extra kick.
- Vegetable Swaps: Try broccoli, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts instead of green beans.
Storage & Reheating:
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze cooled portions for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in an air fryer (350°F for 4-5 minutes), oven (350°F for 8-10 minutes), or microwave (1.5-2 minutes).
