Instructions
📝 Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large baking sheet or oven-safe pan with olive oil.
Step 2: Season Chicken & Veggies
In a small bowl, mix garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper with olive oil.
Toss chicken, potatoes, and green beans in the mixture until evenly coated.
Step 3: Arrange on Pan
Place chicken breasts in the center of the pan and arrange potatoes and green beans around them in a single layer.
Step 4: Roast
Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning potatoes halfway through, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are tender.
Step 5: Optional Creamy Mushroom Version
For a creamier dish, whisk together cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth. Pour over chicken and veggies 10 minutes before the end of cooking and return to oven until bubbly.
Step 6: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken and vegetables. Serve hot, straight from the pan.
