For the Chicken and Vegetables:

• Baby potatoes (halved): 1 lb (450 g)
• Green beans (trimmed): ½ lb (225 g)

For the Garlic Herb Butter:

• Unsalted butter (melted): 4 tbsp (60 g)
• Olive oil: 2 tbsp
• Garlic (minced): 4 cloves
• Fresh parsley (chopped): 2 tbsp
• Fresh rosemary (chopped): 1 tsp
• Fresh thyme (chopped): 1 tsp
• Paprika: 1 tsp
• Salt: 1 tsp
• Black pepper: ½ tsp

Optional Garnish:

• Lemon wedges: For serving
• Additional fresh parsley: For sprinkling

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter

1. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3: Season the Ingredients

1. Place the halved potatoes on one-third of the baking sheet. Drizzle with ⅓ of the garlic herb butter and toss to coat.
2. Place the chicken breasts in the center of the baking sheet. Brush with another ⅓ of the garlic herb butter.
3. Add the green beans on the remaining third of the baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining garlic herb butter and toss to coat.

Step 4: Roast the Meal

1. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
2. For a crispier finish, broil the dish for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.

Step 5: Serve

1. Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
2. Garnish with lemon wedges and additional parsley if desired. Serve and enjoy!
