Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner
A simple and delicious sheet pan recipe featuring tender chicken pieces and crisp green beans, roasted to perfection with savory seasonings. This healthy meal is perfect for busy weeknights, offering minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lb fresh green beans trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.125 tsp black pepper
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the cut chicken pieces and trimmed green beans.
- Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the chicken and green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the green beans are tender-crisp.
- Serve immediately, optionally with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and spices for 30 minutes before roasting. Feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables like cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or pre-cooked potatoes during the last 15 minutes of baking. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving brightens all the flavors.
