One-Pan Garlic Herb Chicken with Potatoes & Green Beans

### **How to Make One-Pan Garlic Herb Chicken with Potatoes & Green Beans**

#### **Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Ingredients**
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil for easy cleanup.
2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful herb marinade.

#### **Step 2: Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables**
1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Place the halved or quartered potatoes on the sheet pan and drizzle with half of the herb marinade. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Place the chicken thighs on the sheet pan with the potatoes, skin-side up, and drizzle with the remaining herb marinade.
4. Add the green beans around the chicken and potatoes. Drizzle the green beans with any leftover herb mixture and season with a little salt and pepper.

#### **Step 3: Roast Everything Together**
1. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
2. If the chicken skin isn’t as crispy as you’d like, you can broil it for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

#### **Step 4: Serve and Enjoy**
1. Once everything is cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
2. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for an extra burst of color and flavor, then serve immediately.

### **Tips for Success**

– **Chicken Cuts**: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs provide the best flavor and juiciness, but you can use chicken breasts if you prefer. If using breasts, check the cooking time as they may cook a bit faster.
– **Even Cooking**: For even cooking, make sure the potatoes are cut to roughly the same size and spread the chicken and vegetables out in a single layer on the pan.
– **Customize the Veggies**: Feel free to swap in other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini based on your preference. Just ensure they are cut to a similar size for even cooking.
– **Make It Spicy**: If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herb mixture for a subtle kick.
