Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 lb green beans, trimmed

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt (to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

¼ cup olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

Zest of 1 lemon

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

      Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and coat thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

        Arrange the Ingredients: Once marinated, take the chicken out and place it on one side of the prepared sheet pan. On the other side, spread the green beans evenly.

          Coat the Green Beans: Drizzle the remaining marinade over the green beans, tossing them lightly to ensure they are well coated.

            Roast in the Oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C) and the green beans are tender-crisp.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

                Enjoy: Serve the garlic herb chicken and green beans warm, perhaps alongside a simple salad or your favorite grain for a complete meal!
