Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts: About 3-4 pieces will work well; choose organic if possible for better flavor.
Fresh Green Beans: Look for bright green beans with no blemishes; they add crunch and color.
Potatoes: Baby Yukon Gold potatoes are perfect here; their creamy texture complements the other ingredients beautifully.
Olive Oil: Use extra virgin olive oil for its rich flavor; it helps everything roast to perfection.
Garlic: Fresh garlic enhances the aroma—go for at least 3 cloves for maximum flavor
Seasoning Blend: A mix of salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian herbs elevates the overall taste.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you gather your ingredients. Prepare a large baking dish by drizzling it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Prepare Your Chicken: Season your chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian herbs. Let them marinate while you prep the veggies.

Chop Those Veggies: Trim the ends off your fresh green beans and halve your baby Yukon Gold potatoes. Uniform size helps everything cook evenly.

Arrange Everything on the Baking Dish: Lay your seasoned chicken in the center of the baking dish. Surround it with green beans and potatoes—the colorful arrangement makes it visually appealing.

Add Garlic Goodness: Mince your garlic cloves finely and sprinkle them over everything in the baking dish. The aroma will be heavenly once cooked!

Bake Until Done!: Slide your baking dish into the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature).

You’ll know it’s ready when everything bubbles away nicely, filling your kitchen with irresistible scents

Serve hot from the oven to enjoy all those delightful flavors together—each bite is pure bliss.
