Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 lemon, zested and juiced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, Italian herbs, paprika, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine. Add the chicken breasts and coat them thoroughly in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15-30 minutes for maximum flavor (you can also marinate in the refrigerator overnight for a deeper flavor).

      Prepare the Green Beans: While the chicken is marinating, in another bowl, drizzle a little olive oil over the trimmed green beans. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of the same Italian herbs used for the chicken. Toss to coat evenly.

        Arrange on Sheet Pan: Once the chicken is marinated, place the chicken breasts on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Spread the coated green beans out on the other side of the sheet pan, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.

          Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the green beans are tender and slightly blistered.

            Serve: Remove the pan from the oven. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm hot alongside the roasted green beans.

              Enjoy your savory dish: Serve it with a wedge of lemon on the side for an extra zesty kick!
