Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 1.5 pounds red potatoes
• 1 pound fresh green beans
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 whole lemon
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and cut the red potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Trim the ends off the green beans.

Step 3

In a small bowl, stir together the oregano, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves. Juice the lemon and set aside.

Step 5

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with the spice mixture.

Step 6

In a large oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 8

In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the lemon juice and stir to combine.

Step 9

Add the red potatoes to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the garlic-lemon mixture, then spread them out evenly.

Step 10

Nestle the chicken breasts on top of the potatoes in the skillet.

Step 11

In a medium bowl, toss the green beans with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Arrange the green beans around the chicken and potatoes in the skillet.

Step 12

Dot the top of the skillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.

Step 13

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.

Step 14

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving.

Step 15

Serve directly from the skillet for a rustic presentation, and enjoy!
