Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or a cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Layer the bottom of the dish with thin lemon slices to infuse flavor.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the fresh green beans and toss until they are well-coated with the marinade.
3
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, carefully place the seasoned green beans on top of the lemon slices in the baking dish.
4
In the same bowl, add the quartered red potatoes and toss them in the remaining olive oil mixture until thoroughly coated. Arrange the potatoes around the inner edge of the dish, on top of the green beans.
5
Finally, take the chicken breasts and coat them well in the remaining olive oil mixture. Place the chicken, skin-side up, in the baking dish on top of the vegetables. Drizzle any leftover marinade over the chicken for extra flavor.
6
Roast the dish in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Once the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through, remove it from the oven and take out the chicken breasts.
7
Return the green beans and potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
8
Serve each plate with a roasted chicken breast accompanied by a generous portion of lemony green beans and baby potatoes. Enjoy warm for a delightful meal!
