After the chicken has baked for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and spread the potatoes in a single layer on the pan. Bake for another 15 minutes.
Then, remove the pan from the oven again and stir the potatoes. Coat the green beans with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and add to the baking sheet.
Bake another 10 minutes, checking to make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through. Add some fresh parsley before serving if you’d like.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use boneless, skinless thighs or chicken breast instead?
Absolutely! You’ll need to adjust the baking time, though, to make sure the chicken doesn’t dry out.
Whether you use boneless, skinless thighs or breasts, the chicken will need to bake for about 25 minutes.
Skip the step where you bake the chicken by itself first. Instead, start by spreading the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet and nestle the chicken among the pieces.
Then, continue the recipe as written. Check to make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before serving – it should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Sure! Because it’s such a simple recipe, it’s easy to customize it to your personal taste. Here are some ideas to get you started:

- Squash: Replace the green beans with zucchini or crookneck squash, or do a mix of both!
