## How to Make It

### 🥘 Step-by-Step:

1. **Preheat oven** to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line with parchment for easier cleanup.

2. **Season the potatoes:**
Toss halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/3 of the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, pepper, and half the dried herbs. Spread them on one-third of the baking sheet.

3. **Add the chicken:**
Rub chicken breasts with another tablespoon of olive oil, remaining garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Place them in the center of the pan.

4. **Bake for 15 minutes.**

5. **Add the green beans:**
Toss beans with remaining olive oil, a little salt and pepper, and nestle them on the last third of the baking sheet.

6. **Return to oven and bake for another 15–20 minutes**, or until chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temp) and potatoes are fork-tender.

7. **Optional finishing touches:**
Drizzle lemon juice over the whole pan for brightness, or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for a savory kick.

8. **Serve hot and enjoy!**
Plate the chicken with a hearty scoop of potatoes and green beans — and you’ve got a restaurant-worthy meal with zero stress.

* **Add color** by subbing in carrots, cherry tomatoes, or red onion wedges.
* **Meal prep tip:** Divide leftovers into containers for grab-and-go lunches.
