02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
04 - 1 teaspoon lemon zest
05 - 3 garlic cloves, minced

13 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
14 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Garnish

15 - Fresh parsley, chopped
16 - Lemon wedges

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper until combined.
03 - Add chicken breasts to the bowl and toss until fully coated with marinade. Set aside while preparing vegetables.
04 - In a separate bowl, toss halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
05 - Spread seasoned potatoes on the prepared sheet pan with cut sides down. Roast for 15 minutes.
06 - Remove sheet pan from oven. Push potatoes to one side, then add marinated chicken breasts and green beans to the pan. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the chicken and beans.
07 - Return sheet pan to oven and roast for 20 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes are golden and tender.
08 - If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes to achieve additional color and crispness.
09 - Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor since all those roasted edges mingle together.
  • You get restaurant-quality chicken that stays juicy because the lemon and garlic marinade does half the work while you're prepping vegetables.
  • It's genuinely gluten-free, easy enough for a weeknight, and fancy enough to serve when someone you're trying to impress shows up for dinner.
02 -
  • Don't skip the marinade time, even if it's just five minutes, because that's when the garlic and lemon actually start breaking down the chicken and making it tender.
  • The potatoes absolutely must go in first and get a head start, otherwise you'll have raw centers when the chicken is perfectly cooked.
03 -
  • Pat the chicken dry before marinating because damp chicken doesn't get that nice sear, and moisture is the enemy of browning.
  • If your sheet pan has a slight tilt, rotate it halfway through cooking so everything browns evenly and you don't end up with one side golden and one side pale.
