Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Tender and juicy, the star of the dish.
  • 1 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 1 lb green beans trimmed
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Rich and creamy, perfect for the garlic butter.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil Helps season the potatoes beautifully.
  • 1 tsp dried thyme Earthy and fragrant.
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary Adds a lovely herbaceous note.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large baking dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer at the bottom of a large baking dish.
  4. Step 4: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  5. Step 5: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Step 6: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the remaining butter and stir until melted.
  7. Step 7: Pour the garlic butter over the potatoes in the baking dish, then place the seared chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
  8. Step 8: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  9. Step 9: After 25 minutes, remove the foil and add the trimmed green beans to the baking dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and toss them in the garlic butter. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  10. Step 10: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
