One-Pan Garlic Herb Chicken with Potatoes & Green Beans
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs, if preferred)
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered (depending on size)
- 1 lb green beans, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or fresh if available)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
3. Prepare the chicken:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, and onion powder.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the chicken breasts.
4. Prepare the green beans:
- In the same bowl used for the potatoes, toss the green beans with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Arrange everything on the pan:
- After seasoning, place the chicken breasts in the center of the baking sheet with the potatoes around them. Arrange the green beans on the side.
6. Bake:
- Roast the chicken, potatoes, and green beans in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. You may want to toss the potatoes and green beans halfway through to ensure even cooking.
7. Optional broil for crispy potatoes:
- For crispy potatoes, you can turn the broiler on for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping an eye on them to avoid burning.
8. Serve:
- Once everything is cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for extra freshness.
WW Points:
- The point value will vary depending on the portion size, the type of chicken used, and any added ingredients or modifications.
- Lean chicken breasts and using a moderate amount of olive oil will keep the points relatively low. This dish is typically around 5-7 points per serving (on the Blue and Green plans), depending on your portion and the exact amounts of oil and seasonings used.
Tips:
- Substitute the vegetables: Feel free to swap the green beans with another veggie like asparagus, zucchini, or carrots for variety.
- Add cheese: For a little extra indulgence, sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese on the chicken during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Meal prep: This dish can be prepped in advance for an easy weeknight dinner. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
This One-Pan Garlic Herb Chicken with Potatoes & Green Beans is a flavorful, healthy, and hassle-free dinner that’s sure to be a hit with the whole family! Enjoy!
