Description
This is the kind of weeknight dinner that makes you look like you tried harder than you did. Crispy potatoes, juicy lemony chicken, tender green beans, and a pop of briny olives, all roasted on one sheet pan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lbs. baby gold potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)
- 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 ½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6 pieces)
- 8 oz. fresh green beans, trimmed
- 4 Tbsp. olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp. dried oregano (or 2 tsp fresh, chopped)
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup whole pitted Kalamata olives
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 14×20 sheet pan (or similar) with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, toss the potatoes and onion with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the garlic, half of the oregano, half of the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the pan in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Step 2: Using the same bowl, toss chicken with remaining olive oil, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3: Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Nestle the chicken between the potatoes. Add green beans around and lightly drizzle them with olive oil. Scatter olives over the top.
- Step 4: Return the pan to the oven and roast 20-25 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and the potatoes are golden.
- Step 5: Sprinkle feta over everything. Roast 2-3 more minutes, just until cheese warms through. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra lemon wedges. Serve right from the pan.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure potatoes crisp instead of steaming. Chicken thighs are preferred as they remain juicy at high heat compared to breasts.
