Ingredients:
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
For the Vegetables
- 600 g baby potatoes, halved
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 200 g green beans
For Roasting
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup chicken broth
For Garnish
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F. Lightly grease or line a large roasting pan.
2️⃣ Season the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a bowl or directly on the pan. Rub them with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3️⃣ Prepare the Vegetables
In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes, carrots, and green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
4️⃣ Assemble the Pan
Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts and vegetables side by side in the roasting pan, spreading everything out evenly.
5️⃣ Add Moisture
Pour the chicken broth into the pan (not directly over the chicken) to keep the dish juicy during roasting.
Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top if desired.
6️⃣ Roast
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden.
7️⃣ Finish & Serve
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
