Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil, then press them into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on one side of the prepared sheet pan.
- In another bowl, toss the green beans with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are lightly coated. Arrange them on the other side of the sheet pan.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the green beans are tender-crisp.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and green beans, if desired, before serving.
Helpful Tips:
- For an extra crispy crust, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the breadcrumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or almond meal.
- Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Storage Instructions: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to retain the crispy texture of the chicken.
Ingredient Substitutions: You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer, adjusting the cooking time as needed to ensure they are fully cooked.
Pairings
