Ingredients
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 pounds baby gold potatoes (quartered or cut into 1 inch pieces)
- 1 pound green beans
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Italian blend seasoning (or substitute ¼ teaspoon each basil, parsley, oregano, and thyme)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup honey
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Honey Garlic Sauce: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Let it simmer briefly before removing from heat and setting aside.
- Pound Chicken and Arrange Ingredients: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking. On a large sheet pan, evenly arrange the green beans, chicken breasts, and quartered potatoes. Drizzle all with oil and season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Season and Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the Italian blend seasoning, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Sprinkle this seasoning evenly over the vegetables and chicken. Then pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the chicken breasts, coating them well.
- Bake the Dish: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- Finish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the green beans and potatoes for added flavor. Serve the meal hot, enjoying the perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute baby gold potatoes with Yukon gold or red potatoes if preferred.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches safe internal temperature for best results.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
- Make sure to spread ingredients evenly on the sheet pan for even roasting.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
