Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 1½ lb chicken breast 1-inch thick
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil for coating
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ⅓ cup parmesan grated
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs Italian style
  • ½ tsp cracked pepper fresh
  • ½ - ¾ tsp sea salt to taste
For the Potatoes:
  • 2 lb red potatoes bite-sized
  • 1 - 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil for roasting
  • 2 Tbsp grated parmesan for crust
  • salt and pepper to taste
For the Green Beans:
  • 1 lb fresh green beans trimmed
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil for coating
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 Tbsp parmesan optional
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • tongs
  • Meat Thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure a high-heat roast.
  2. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a light coating of cooking spray.
  3. Combine all potato ingredients in a bowl, tossing thoroughly until every piece is coated.
  4. Spread potatoes across one-third of the pan and roast for 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Toss the chicken ingredients in the same bowl while the potatoes begin roasting.
  6. Arrange the coated chicken on the pan next to the potatoes and return to the oven.
  7. Mix the green bean ingredients and add them to the final third of the sheet pan.
  8. Bake the entire tray for 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
  9. Broil on high for 4 minutes at the very end if you prefer extra crispy potatoes.
  10. Let the meal rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep the chicken juicy.

Notes

Chicken thickness significantly impacts cook time, so use a meat thermometer to ensure the thickest part reaches 165°F. For a crispier bottom crust on the meat, you can place a wire cooling rack directly on the sheet pan. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days and reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain the breadcrumb texture.
