Essential Ingredients

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 breasts; adjust based on your hungry crowd.
• Fresh Green Beans: Select vibrant green beans that snap easily for an ideal texture.
• Potatoes: Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for their creamy flesh that complements the dish.

Let’s Make it together

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you gather your ingredients. The anticipation begins here

Prepare the Chicken: Season your chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and any herbs you fancy. Let them sit for about 10 minutes – this helps flavors meld beautifully.

Chop Up the Veggies: While waiting, wash and trim the green beans. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces; they should be roughly uniform for even cooking.

Toss Everything Together: In a large bowl, combine chicken breasts, green beans, and potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle minced garlic over everything.

Arrange in Baking Dish: Transfer everything into a greased baking dish or sheet pan. Ensure it’s spread out evenly – no one likes overcrowded veggies

Bake Away: Pop the dish into your preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (165°F/75°C) and veggies are tender.

And voilà The smell wafting through your kitchen will have everyone asking what magic you’ve conjured up today.
