Preparation

Cooking

  3. Remove the baking dish from the oven after 15 minutes, push the potatoes to one side, and place the seasoned chicken breasts in the center.
  4. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 18 minutes.
  5. Add the trimmed green beans to the other side of the dish after that time, drizzle with a little olive oil, and roast everything together for another 10 to 12 minutes.
  6. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F), and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Once done, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

To serve, present the dish hot directly from the oven in the baking dish for a rustic look. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator or freeze for longer storage. The texture of potatoes may change slightly when reheated.
