Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Vegetables and Seasonings
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1/2 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Season Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and onion powder until evenly coated.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to start cooking and developing a crispy texture.
- Prepare Chicken and Green Beans: While the potatoes roast, brush the chicken breasts evenly with barbecue sauce. In a separate bowl, drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the trimmed green beans, tossing to coat.
- Add Chicken and Green Beans to Pan: After 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan to make space, then place the BBQ-coated chicken breasts on the pan and add the green beans alongside the potatoes.
- Continue Roasting: Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/75°C) and the potatoes are tender.
- Brush with More BBQ Sauce: Halfway through the second roasting period, carefully brush more barbecue sauce onto the chicken breasts for extra flavor and a glossy finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Garnish the chicken and vegetables with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken in barbecue sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Substitute baby potatoes with Yukon gold or sweet potatoes as desired for a different flavor profile.
- For a spicier dish, add cayenne pepper or smoked chipotle powder to the potato seasoning mix.
