🍗 One-Pan Garlic Herb Chicken with Potatoes & Green Beans
🕒 Total Time: 45–55 minutes
🍽️ Serves: 4
📝 Ingredients:
Main:
-
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or boneless if preferred)
-
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
-
8 oz green beans, trimmed
-
2 tbsp olive oil (plus more as needed)
-
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Garlic Herb Marinade:
-
3 tbsp olive oil
-
4 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tsp dried thyme
-
1 tsp dried rosemary
-
1/2 tsp dried oregano
-
1/2 tsp paprika
-
Juice of 1/2 lemon
-
Optional: 1 tsp Dijon mustard or 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
🔪 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
-
Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet or roasting pan with parchment for easier cleanup.
2. Prepare the Marinade:
-
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, herbs, paprika, lemon juice, and Dijon (if using).
3. Season the Chicken & Potatoes:
-
Place chicken thighs and halved potatoes in a large bowl or directly on the baking sheet.
-
Drizzle with half of the marinade. Toss everything to coat well.
-
Arrange chicken skin-side up and potatoes cut-side down on the pan.
-
Season generously with salt and pepper.
4. Bake Partway:
-
Roast for 25–30 minutes, until potatoes are starting to brown and chicken is nearly cooked through.
5. Add Green Beans:
-
Toss green beans with remaining marinade and add them to the pan (around the chicken or on top of the potatoes).
-
Roast for another 12–15 minutes, until green beans are tender and chicken skin is crisp.
6. Finish & Serve:
-
Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end to crisp the chicken skin more.
-
Squeeze fresh lemon over everything and garnish with parsley if desired.
💡 Tips:
-
Swap chicken thighs for chicken breasts or drumsticks — just adjust cook time.
-
Add parmesan or crushed red pepper flakes on the green beans for extra flavor.
