Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large large chicken breasts, halved lengthwise
  • 500 g baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 large large carrots, diced
  • 200 g green beans, trimmed
Seasonings & Oils
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • to taste Salt & black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or white wine optional for extra moisture

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, rub the chicken with 1 tbsp of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In another bowl, toss the halved potatoes, diced carrots, and trimmed green beans with the remaining olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Cooking
  1. Place the seasoned vegetables in the baking dish and nestle the marinated chicken on top.
  2. If you like, pour in the chicken broth or white wine for extra moisture.
  3. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) and the veggies are fork-tender. Stir the veggies halfway through cooking.
  4. Once baked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. You can slice it if you wish.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm on a plate. It pairs well with a light salad or some crusty bread.

Notes

Make sure the chicken and veggies are cut into similar sizes for even cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. Marinating the chicken for a few hours will enhance the flavors even more. Check the chicken a few minutes early to avoid overcooking.
