Ingredients
For the Chicken:
1½ lb chicken breasts (about 3–4 pieces), approximately 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup breadcrumbs (Italian or plain; add 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning to plain breadcrumbs)
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
½ to ¾ teaspoon sea salt
For the Potatoes:
2 lb red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
1–2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Green Beans:
1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare Potatoes:
In a medium bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on one-third of the prepared sheet pan.
Roast Potatoes:
Roast the potatoes for 10–15 minutes, or until they’re starting to soften. For extra crispy potatoes, add an additional 5 minutes.
Prepare Chicken:
While the potatoes are roasting, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, cracked black pepper, and sea salt in a separate bowl. Coat the chicken breasts with this Parmesan mixture.
Add Chicken to the Pan:
Once the potatoes have roasted, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side and place the coated chicken breasts on the other side of the pan. Return the pan to the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Prepare Green Beans:
While the chicken is roasting, toss the trimmed green beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
Add Green Beans to the Pan:
After 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the prepared green beans. Arrange them around the chicken and potatoes, then return the pan to the oven. Roast for another 5–10 minutes until everything is cooked through and golden brown.
Serve:
Once everything is roasted and golden, remove the sheet pan from the oven and serve the chicken alongside the crispy potatoes and tender green beans.
Notes
If you prefer extra crispy potatoes, increase the roasting time or broil them for the last few minutes.
For a different flavor, experiment with different cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Asiago.
You can substitute the green beans with broccoli or asparagus if desired.
