(One-pan perfection — juicy chicken, golden spuds & vibrant greens!)

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
Calories: ~550 kcal per serving

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 garlic cloves, minced

3 tbsp olive oil, divided

2 tsp dried Italian herbs (or a mix of thyme, oregano, rosemary)

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)

Salt & pepper to taste

600g baby potatoes (red and yellow mix), halved

1 tbsp butter (optional, for potatoes)

250g green beans, trimmed

Optional: lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

Preheat oven: Set oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly oil a large baking dish or tray.

Season the chicken: In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic, Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and parsley. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.

Prep potatoes: Toss halved baby potatoes in 1 tbsp olive oil, a bit of salt, pepper, and optional butter. Arrange around the chicken in the dish.

Bake: Place dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temp 75°C / 165°F) and potatoes are fork-tender.

Cook green beans: While the chicken bakes, blanch green beans in salted boiling water for 3–4 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water to keep color and crunch.

Final step: Once the chicken is done, add the green beans to the dish or serve them on the side. Garnish everything with extra parsley and optional lemon wedges.

Tips & Variations:

Swap green beans for asparagus, carrots, or broccoli.

Add chili flakes to the oil for a spicy kick.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken 1 hour in advance
