Let’s Make it Together

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grab a large baking dish or sheet pan and drizzle some olive oil in it. Season your chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and your choice of herbs until they are well-coated.

Next up is the star of our show—add those bright green beans around the chicken in an even layer. They should be nestled snugly against each piece like they’re going on an adventure together

Now it’s time for those potatoes Chop them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Toss them in olive oil along with salt and pepper before placing them on the baking sheet alongside the chicken.

Slide everything into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The aroma will envelop your kitchen—it’s heavenly

Once fully cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let it rest for five minutes so all those flavors meld together nicely. Serve hot while still steaming—your family will gather around as if summoned by an aroma spell

For extra flair, consider squeezing fresh lemon juice over everything just before serving. It adds brightness that balances out all those rich flavors perfectly.

Now you have a delicious meal that looks as good as it tastes Enjoy every comforting bite of this chicken green beans and potatoes masterpiece.
