Directions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps:

2. In a medium bowl, toss all potato ingredients together, ensuring they are well-coated.
3. Spread the potatoes on 1/3 of the pan and bake for 10-15 minutes. (Want them browned? Go for the extra five minutes!)
4. While the potatoes are in the oven, toss all chicken ingredients in the same bowl and coat them well.
5. After the potatoes have cooked, add the chicken to the pan.
6. While everything’s cooking, whip up the green beans — toss them with their ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
7. After 25 minutes, make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. For extra crispy potatoes, broil on high for 4-5 more minutes if desired.
