Ingredients

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

For the Chicken:

Chicken breasts (approximately 1½ pounds)
Olive oil
Minced garlic
Grated Parmesan cheese
Breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-style)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Potatoes:

Red potatoes (about 2 pounds), cut into bite-sized pieces
Minced garlic
Olive oil
Grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Green Beans:

Fresh green beans (approximately 1 pound), trimmed
Olive oil
Minced garlic
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Potatoes: In a bowl, toss the cut red potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a large sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes to give them a head start.
Prepare the Chicken: While the potatoes are baking, in a separate bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. After the potatoes have baked for 15 minutes, move them to one side of the pan and add the prepared chicken to the center.
Add the Green Beans: In the same bowl used for the chicken, toss the green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, and, if desired, additional Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Place the green beans on the remaining third of the sheet pan.
Bake the Dish: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Optional Broiling: For extra crispiness, broil the entire sheet pan for 3–4 minutes after baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Serve: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken, potatoes, and green beans together for a complete meal.

Variations

Vegetable Substitutions: Replace green beans with broccoli florets, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts, adjusting cooking times as needed.
Cheese Options: Try using shredded mozzarella or a blend of Italian cheeses for a different flavor profile.
Herb Additions: Incorporate fresh or dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or basil into the breadcrumb mixture for added aroma and taste.
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture for a spicy kick.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Allow leftovers to cool completely before transferring to airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: To maintain crispiness, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes. Alternatively, use an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 4–5 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes, boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used. Adjust cooking time as needed to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Is it necessary to pre-cook the potatoes?

Pre-cooking the potatoes for 15 minutes ensures they become tender and crispy by the time the chicken and green beans are done.

Can I use frozen green beans?

Fresh green beans are recommended for optimal texture, but if using frozen, thaw and pat them dry before adding to the sheet pan.

What type of breadcrumbs should I use?

Both plain and Italian-style breadcrumbs work well. Italian-style breadcrumbs add extra seasoning, but you can also add your own herbs to plain breadcrumbs.

Can I make this dish gluten-free?

Yes, use gluten-free breadcrumbs to make the recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet.
