👩🍳 How to Make One-Pan Garlic Herb Chicken
🔹 Step 1: Preheat and Prep

- Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
🔹 Step 2: Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix:
- Garlic powder
- Oregano
- Thyme
- Paprika
- Salt and pepper
Rub this spice mix all over the chicken breasts, then drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and set aside.
🔹 Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables
In a large bowl, toss:
- Potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper

- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the center of the pan.
- Add the seasoned potatoes to one side.
- Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
🔹 Step 5: Add Green Beans
- After 20 minutes, remove the pan and scatter the green beans around the chicken and potatoes.
- Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for another 15–20 minutes, or until:
- Chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature
- Potatoes are crispy-tender
- Green beans are lightly charred and still crisp
🔹 Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Drizzle with fresh lemon juice or garnish with chopped parsley for brightness.
- Serve hot and enjoy a full meal on a single plate.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes! Chicken thighs are juicier and more flavorful. Just adjust the cooking time to ensure they reach 165°F internal temperature.
What other vegetables can I use?
You can swap green beans for broccoli, asparagus, or brussels sprouts. Adjust roasting time accordingly — thinner veggies need less time.
How do I make it spicier?
Add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the chicken seasoning mix for a kick.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely. Assemble everything on the pan, cover tightly with foil, and refrigerate. When ready, bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to compensate for the chill.
