Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken
- 1 1/2 lb chicken breast (1-inch thickness)
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan
- 1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Roasted Potatoes
- 2 lbs red potatoes (cut into halves)
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
For the Sautéed Green Beans
- 1 lb green beans (fresh, with ends cut)
- 1 tablespoon parmesan
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a shallow bowl, combine parmesan, Italian breadcrumbs, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper. Coat each chicken breast with olive oil, then dredge them thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- Bake the Chicken: Arrange the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the crust is golden and crisp.
- Roast the Potatoes: While the chicken is baking, place the halved red potatoes on a separate baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with minced garlic, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- Sauté the Green Beans: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the green beans, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender but still slightly crispy.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle the sautéed green beans with parmesan cheese. Serve the crispy baked chicken breasts alongside the roasted potatoes and sautéed green beans for a balanced and tasty meal. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil and garlic for 30 minutes before coating with breadcrumbs.
- You can substitute Italian breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs if desired.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature (165°F) to avoid undercooking.
- Flip potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure even browning.
- Fresh green beans provide the best texture for sautéing, but frozen can be used if fresh aren’t available, just adjust cooking time.
