Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt & black pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 3 cups baby potatoes (quartered)
- 2 cups fresh green beans
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
Sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish to prepare for roasting.
- Season Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts thoroughly with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to let the flavors infuse.
- Prepare Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, toss the quartered baby potatoes and fresh green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Spread the seasoned potatoes and green beans evenly in the prepared baking dish, then nestle the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
- Make Sauce: Whisk together the chicken broth, fresh lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until combined, then drizzle this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
- Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Rest & Serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes after roasting to retain its juices. Slice the chicken, plate it with the roasted vegetables, and drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the top for extra flavor.
