Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 bone-in, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp pepper (or to taste)
Vegetables
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp pepper (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for some heat)
Garnishes (Optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or large baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with half of the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
- Prepare the Potatoes and Green Beans: In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the remaining garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Add the trimmed green beans to the same bowl and toss with any remaining seasoning mix and optional red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Assemble on the Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the center of the prepared baking sheet or dish. Arrange the seasoned potatoes around the chicken and scatter the green beans on the other side for even cooking.
- Optional Drizzle: Drizzle everything with a little more olive oil if desired for extra crispness and flavor before baking.
- Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender. For extra crispy potatoes, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
- Optional Garnishes: Once everything is cooked, remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and vegetables to add brightness and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the chicken, potatoes, and green beans hot on plates and enjoy this simple, flavorful Italian-inspired meal!
