Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice or juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced (for chicken marinade)
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt to season
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to season
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese fresh, grated
  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 8-10 baby potatoes quartered
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced (for potatoes/beans)
  • 1 pinch salt to taste (for vegetables)
  • 1 pound green beans trimmed and cut into thirds

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk or fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a baking sheet with oil spray or a thin coating of oil.
  2. Whisk together the egg, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, chopped parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
  3. Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture to coat. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for 30–60 minutes if time allows (optional).
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.
  5. Dredge the egg-coated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere evenly.
  6. Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the quartered baby potatoes in a single layer around the chicken.
  7. Mix the melted butter with 2 teaspoons minced garlic and a pinch of salt. Pour half the garlic butter over the potatoes and toss to coat.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
  9. Remove the tray, carefully flip each chicken piece, push the potatoes to one side, and add the green beans to the other side. Pour the remaining garlic butter over the vegetables and return to the oven.
  10. Broil/grill on medium-high for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and crisp and the potatoes are cooked through.
  11. Sprinkle with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken in the egg mixture for 30–60 minutes deepens the flavor.
