Ingredients:
- 1½ lb chicken breast (about 3-4 pieces, approx. 1 inch thick)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs (Italian or plain; add 1 tsp Italian seasoning to plain breadcrumbs!)
- ½ tsp cracked pepper
- ½ – ¾ tsp sea salt
- 2 lb red potatoes (cut into bite-sized pieces; if small, quartered, larger potatoes cut into 6ths or 8ths)
- 1 – 2 garlic clove (minced)

- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 lb fresh green beans (ends trimmed)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove (minced)

Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup or spray with cooking oil.

- Spread the potatoes on one-third of the pan. Bake for about 10-15 minutes. If you prefer your potatoes browned, leave them in for an extra five minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the chicken. In the same bowl, mix chicken breast, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, ⅓ cup grated parmesan, ⅓ cup breadcrumbs, cracked pepper, and sea salt. Coat the chicken well.
- After the potatoes have cooked for a bit, take out the pan and add the chicken.
- Toss together the ingredients for the green beans: fresh green beans, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, optional parmesan, and salt and pepper. Add them to the pan.
- Bake everything for about 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For extra crispy potatoes, switch the oven to broil on high for another 4-5 minutes, if desired.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
