Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 3 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
Seasoning and Sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 packet Italian dressing seasoning mix (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts down the center of the baking dish. On one side, add the halved baby potatoes, and on the other side, place the trimmed green beans.
- Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Italian dressing seasoning mix, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Coat Chicken and Vegetables: Drizzle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken, potatoes, and green beans. Gently toss the vegetables to ensure they are well coated but keep the chicken breasts in place.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and partially cook the ingredients.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a touch of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy your easy, wholesome meal.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if preferred for a juicier result.
- Marinating the chicken in the seasoning mixture for 30 minutes prior to baking will enhance the flavor.
- Add lemon slices over the green beans before baking to introduce a bright, citrusy note.
