Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 lb red potatoes, quartered
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the marinade:
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Season the chicken:
- Place chicken breasts in a large bowl or ziplock bag. Pour half of the marinade over them, coating well. Let marinate for 15–30 minutes (optional, but recommended for extra flavor).
- Prepare the potatoes & green beans:
- In a separate bowl, toss red potatoes with half of the remaining marinade. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
- Roast potatoes for 15 minutes.
- Add the chicken & green beans:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Move the potatoes to one side.
- Add marinated chicken to the sheet and spread green beans next to it. Drizzle the rest of the marinade over everything.
- Roast until cooked through:
- Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender.
- For a crispy finish, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
- Garnish & serve:
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (if using) and garnish with lemon slices.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
