Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lemon

Zest of 1 lemon

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, paprika, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

      Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).

        Toss the Green Beans: In another bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

          Assemble the Sheet Pan: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the center of the sheet pan. Arrange the green beans around the chicken in a single layer.

            Bake the Dish: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the green beans are tender. If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans in the last 5 minutes of baking.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

                Enjoy!: Serve the garlic herb chicken and green beans hot, perhaps with a side of rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious juices.
