This garlic herb chicken dinner is the kind of cozy meal that feels homemade in the best way. Juicy sliced chicken, buttery roasted baby potatoes, and tender green beans come together in one pan for an easy dinner packed with flavor and comfort.

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the garlic, salt, pepper, and half the Italian seasoning.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a baking dish and roast for 20 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes cook, season the chicken breasts with paprika, onion powder, parsley, remaining Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side and add the green beans.
  7. Place the chicken breasts in the dish. Mix the melted butter with the remaining garlic and drizzle it over everything.
  8. Bake for another 18–20 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the potatoes are tender.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and spoon the buttery garlic juices over the top before serving.

Serving

Serve this warm right out of the baking dish with extra garlic butter drizzled over the chicken. It pairs perfectly with warm dinner rolls or a fresh side salad.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

  • Use chicken thighs if you want even juicier meat.

  • Add grated Parmesan on top before serving for extra richness.
