One-Pan Garlic Butter Chicken and Vegetables

A quick, delicious, and healthy dinner that’s made in one pan for easy cleanup!


Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper


Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the chicken: In a small bowl, mix paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning on both sides of the chicken breasts.
  3. Prepare the vegetables: Toss the potatoes and green beans with 2 tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them on a large baking sheet.
  4. Sear the chicken: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2 minutes per side until golden but not cooked through.
  5. Make the garlic butter: In the same skillet, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Assemble and bake: Place the chicken on the baking sheet with the vegetables. Drizzle the garlic butter over the chicken and potatoes. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Serve and enjoy: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
