Oven-Baked Herb Chicken with Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans (Family Favorite)
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
- 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 1 1/4 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with foil (for easier cleanup).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, Dijon mustard, parsley, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Pat the chicken dry. Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken thighs. Set aside while you prep the vegetables.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes cut-side down on the sheet pan, leaving space for the chicken.
- Place the seasoned chicken on the sheet pan among the potatoes. Drizzle any remaining herb mixture over the chicken.
- Roast for 25 minutes.
- Carefully turn the potatoes and move the chicken as needed. Pour chicken broth onto the pan. Dot the top of the chicken with butter.
- Add the green beans to the pan (tossed lightly with a drizzle of oil if needed) and roast 20–25 minutes more, until chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part and potatoes are tender and browned.
- Rest chicken 5 minutes. Serve with roasted potatoes and green beans. Optionally sprinkle with Parmesan.
Cooking tips
- Pat the chicken dry and let it sit with the herb seasoning for 10 minutes before baking for better flavor and a more even bake. - Use a rimmed sheet pan and spread potatoes in a single layer so they roast instead of steam. - Flip the potatoes once halfway through, then return to the oven until browned and tender. - If your green beans are thin, add them during the last 15–20 minutes to keep them crisp-tender.
