Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 1/2 lb chicken breast (about 3–4 pieces), approx. 1 inch thick
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (Italian or plain; can add 1 tsp Italian seasoning if plain)
- 1/2 tsp cracked pepper
- 1/2 – 3/4 tsp sea salt
Potatoes
- 2 lb red potatoes, cut into bite sized pieces (quartered if small, larger potatoes cut into 6ths or 8ths)
- 1 – 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan
- Salt and pepper to taste
Green Beans
- 1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp parmesan (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Heat your oven to 425°F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the chicken and vegetables evenly.
- Prepare and roast potatoes: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking oil for easier cleanup. In a medium bowl, toss the red potatoes with minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons grated parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the potatoes evenly on one third of the sheet pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, until starting to brown.
- Coat and add chicken: While the potatoes are roasting, use the same bowl to toss the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, grated parmesan, breadcrumbs, cracked pepper, and sea salt until well coated. Remove the sheet pan from the oven once potatoes are partially cooked, then add the chicken breasts to the pan next to the potatoes.
- Prepare green beans and add to pan: Quickly toss the trimmed green beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, optional parmesan, and salt and pepper. Add the green beans to the remaining space on the sheet pan with the chicken and potatoes.
- Bake everything together: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake everything for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is cooked through. For extra crispy potatoes, switch the oven to broil on high and broil for an additional 4-5 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Rest and serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and allow the chicken and vegetables to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute and cool slightly. Enjoy your hearty, flavorful sheet pan dinner!
Notes
- Use Italian seasoned breadcrumbs for extra flavor or add 1 tsp Italian seasoning to plain breadcrumbs.
- Adjust garlic amounts according to your preference; garlic enhances all components wonderfully.
- Make sure chicken pieces are approximately the same thickness for even cooking.
- Using parchment paper makes cleanup quicker and keeps the sheet pan in good condition.
- Broiling at the end crisps the potatoes nicely, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- The recipe can be doubled for larger families, just use two sheet pans or a larger pan.
