12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed

3 tablespoons olive oil

👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large sheet pan.
2️⃣ Season Potatoes
In a bowl, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the garlic, and half the seasonings.
Spread on the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes first (they take longer than green beans).
3️⃣ Prepare Chicken & Green Beans
Toss chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and remaining seasonings.
Mix green beans with remaining oil and a pinch of salt.
4️⃣ Add to Pan
After potatoes roast 15 minutes, push them to one side.
Add chicken and green beans to the pan.
5️⃣ Bake
Roast another 20–25 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and potatoes are golden.
6️⃣ Optional Finish
Drizzle melted butter and fresh lemon juice over everything before serving.
🌟 Tips
-
Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
-
Add grated Parmesan during the last 5 minutes for extra flavor.
-
For crispier potatoes, avoid overcrowding the pan.
This is a perfect weeknight meal — balanced, filling, and family-friendly.
If you want, I can also give you a slow cooker version or a garlic butter upgrade that tastes restaurant-quality.
