Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
– 1 lb green beans, trimmed
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
– Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to make cleanup a breeze.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
– Arrange the chicken breasts in the center of the baking sheet. Season them generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
– Place the baby potatoes on one side of the baking sheet and the green beans on the other. Drizzle the veggies with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper for a perfectly balanced flavor.
4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
– In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and oregano until well combined.
5. Assemble the Dish:
– Pour half of the garlic butter sauce over the chicken breasts, and the other half over the potatoes and green beans. Toss the vegetables gently to ensure they’re evenly coated.
– Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and green beans if you’d like a cheesy finish.
6. Bake:
– Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (reaches an internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
7. Serve:
– After baking, remove the sheet from the oven and let everything rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
– Serve the garlic butter chicken with the roasted potatoes and green beans for a satisfying and easy one-pan dinner.
Pro Tips for This Easy Dinner:
– Marinate the Chicken: For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in the garlic butter sauce for 30 minutes before baking.
– Veggie Swaps: You can substitute the green beans with other vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts for variety.
– Crispy Potatoes: If you like your potatoes crispy, consider parboiling them for 5-7 minutes before roasting.
This easy one-pan garlic butter chicken and veggies recipe is a perfect weeknight dinner. With minimal prep and cleanup, you’ll have a delicious meal on the table in no time, making it an ideal choice for busy nights. Enjoy!
