Ingredients
Scale
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 and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl or on a plate, rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the quartered baby potatoes and fresh green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to ensure they are well seasoned.
- Assemble in Baking Dish: Spread the seasoned potatoes and green beans evenly in the prepared baking dish. Then, nestle the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the vegetable layer.
- Make and Drizzle Sauce: Whisk together chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until combined. Drizzle this flavorful sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the baking dish.
- Roast: 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 are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Slice the chicken and serve with the roasted vegetables, drizzling any remaining sauce from the pan on top for extra flavor.
Notes
- For even cooking, try to select baby potatoes that are uniform in size.
- You can substitute fresh green beans with asparagus or broccoli if preferred.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked and safe to eat.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
