Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for even cooking.

    Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, dried oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor infusion.

      Prepare the Green Beans: On a large, rimmed baking sheet, arrange the trimmed green beans in a single layer. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicy kick. Toss the green beans gently to ensure they are evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.

        Arrange on Sheet Pan: After the chicken has marinated, remove it from the bowl and lay the chicken breasts on the sheet pan amidst the green beans. Space the chicken evenly to ensure proper cooking for both the chicken and vegetables.

          Bake: Place the prepared sheet pan into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), and the green beans are vibrant and tender-crisp. If you'd like a cheesy touch, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the dish during the last 5 minutes of baking.

            Serve: Carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Serve the garlic herb chicken alongside the roasted green beans, and drizzle any pan juices over the top to elevate the flavors.
