Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the potatoes: In a medium bowl, toss potatoes with garlic, olive oil, parmesan, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Start roasting: Spread potatoes over one-third of the sheet pan. Bake for 10–15 minutes until they begin to soften and lightly brown.

5. Assemble the pan: Remove potatoes from the oven. Add chicken to the pan.
6. Prep green beans: Toss green beans with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and parmesan if using. Add them to the remaining space on the pan
7. Bake: Return pan to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internally.
8. Optional crisp: Broil on high for 4–5 minutes for extra crispy potatoes and chicken
9. Rest & serve: Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

• Meal prep: Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
• Serving ideas: Add a squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of garlic butter before serving.
