Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Vegetables:
- 3 cups baby potatoes, quartered
- 2 cups fresh green beans
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) chicken broth
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 400°F (200°C) and applying a light coating of grease to a spacious baking vessel.
- Massage chicken breasts with olive oil and a harmonious blend of garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper, allowing flavors to meld momentarily.
- Curate the vegetable medley by combining baby potatoes and green beans with olive oil, aromatic minced garlic, delicate thyme, smoky paprika, salt, and black pepper in a mixing container.
- Distribute the seasoned vegetables evenly across the baking dish, creating a vibrant foundation for the chicken.
- Carefully nestle the herb-infused chicken breasts atop the vegetable landscape.
- Craft a zesty liquid enhancement by whisking chicken broth, bright lemon juice, and tangy Dijon mustard in a small mixing bowl.
- Cascade the prepared liquid mixture over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring comprehensive flavor distribution.
- Roast the culinary composition for 40–45 minutes, monitoring until chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes surrender easily to fork pressure.
- Allow the dish a brief resting period of 5 minutes to redistribute internal juices and concentrate flavors.
- Slice the chicken with precision, plate alongside the roasted vegetables, and drizzle remaining pan sauce for an additional flavor boost.
Notes
- Swap chicken breasts with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version that maintains the same flavor profile and cooking technique.
- For a low-carb alternative, replace baby potatoes with cauliflower florets or zucchini chunks, which roast beautifully and absorb seasonings effectively.
- Marinate chicken for 30 minutes before cooking to intensify herb and garlic flavors, ensuring deeper penetration of seasonings throughout the meat.
- Use fresh herbs instead of dried when possible, as they provide brighter, more vibrant taste and can elevate the overall dish’s aromatic quality.
