Chicken green beans and potatoes is one of our go-to, one-dish dinner recipes. It’s flavorful and makes plenty for a large family or enough for a small family to have leftovers.
This recipe couldn’t be simpler with only 3 main ingredients, some butter, and seasonings.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the melted butter and all the spices. The spices can be adjusted or omitted to fit your tastes. Set aside.
Lay the chicken breasts along the center of the baking dish in a row. Add the green beans next to one side of the chicken followed by the potatoes on the opposite side.
Pour the melted butter mixture over the top of the chicken and vegetables. Cover and bake.
It’s important to note that the bake time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken. You’ll want to be sure the potatoes are cut to the correct size, so they cook through as the chicken bakes.
The chicken should be 165°F when an instant read thermometer is inserted into the thickest part.
After the meal finishes baking, remove it from the oven, and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Can you use packet seasoning mix for chicken green beans and potatoes?
Yes, ranch seasoning mix or Italian seasoning mix can be used in place of the seasonings in this recipe. Instead of mixing the seasoning packet in butter, sprinkle it over the chicken and vegetables then drizzle the melted butter on top. Cover and bake as written.
Can you use chicken thighs?
We haven’t tested this exact recipe using chicken thighs. However, there are several sheet pan versions that are similar. Here’s a Sheet Pan Chicken and Potatoes recipe that uses a lot of the same ingredients and looks amazing!
Can you use canned green beans?
You can use canned green beans. Just be aware that canned green beans are already cooked, so they’re very soft. They’re going to soften more as they bake. Because of this, we recommend fresh or frozen (thawed) green beans.
Can you use red potatoes?
Yes, red potatoes can be used as long as they are cut small enough to cook thoroughly.
