Ingredients
- 3 skinless chicken breasts cut in half
- 2 cans drained green beans
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the halved chicken breasts and drained green beans.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the chicken and green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan for even cooking.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the green beans are tender-crisp.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy this simple and delicious weeknight meal!
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken in a little lemon juice and herbs for 15-20 minutes before baking. Feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables like chopped bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or zucchini during the last 15 minutes of baking. Serve with a side of quinoa or rice for a more complete meal.
