Ingredients

3-4 chicken breasts (preferably even in size)
1 lb red potatoes (or baby potatoes)
1 lb fresh green beans

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Italian breadcrumbs preferred, or gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option)
Salt and pepper, to taste

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If desired, line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Toss the red potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 cup Parmesan, 1 clove minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan and bake for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 cup Parmesan, breadcrumbs, 2 cloves minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
After 15 minutes, move the potatoes to one-third of the pan. Place the chicken breasts in the next section of the pan.
Toss the green beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper, and place them in the remaining space on the sheet pan.
Bake for an additional 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If the green beans are cooking too fast, remove them early. For extra crispy potatoes, broil on high for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
