Easy sheet pan dinner

I cannot believe how easy and delicious this chicken sheet pan dinner is to make! This takes less than 10 minutes to get everything ready and into the oven. Once it's in the oven you only need to check it once, to turn the potatoes and add the green beans.

In less than one hour, you have a complete meal. This is perfect for weeknights or Sunday suppers.

Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Chicken, Potatoes and Beans

  • 6 chicken thighs (bone-in and skin on)
  • 1½ pounds potatoes (quartered)
  • 1 pound green beans (ends trimmed off)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing baking sheet)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 415°F
  • Combine olive oil, garlic and mustard together along with sprigs of thyme
    ¼ cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard, 2 cloves garlic, 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Pat chicken dry and place on a lightly oiled (with one tablespoon of olive oil) rimmed baking sheet
    6 chicken thighs, 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika
    1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Place potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil mixture over potatoes. Toss until potatoes are covered with oil.
    1½ pounds potatoes
  • Place potatoes on baking sheet with the chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper
  • Drizzle a ½ teaspoon of oil mixture over the top of each chicken thigh
  • Bake uncovered in a preheated 415°F oven for 30 minutes
  • Remove from oven and rotate potatoes. Make space on pan for green beans.
  • Coat beans with remaining oil and add to baking sheet along with the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle green beans with salt and pepper.
    1 pound green beans
  • Return to oven for 15-20 minutes until beans are cooked and chicken reads at least 165°F
  • Remove from oven and allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving

Notes

Tips:
  • Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. This helps make the chicken crispy. 
  • Cut potatoes evenly in size
  • Preheat oven to 415 degrees
  • Make certain chicken reaches 165 degrees
  • If you prefer your green beans cooked until soft (rather than with a bit of bite) add 10-15 minutes earlier than the recipe states. 
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add additional chicken and potatoes, the cook time may be longer.
  • Allowing the chicken to rest before serving allows the juices to redistribute back into the meat making a juicier chicken. 
Nutritional value is estimated at 1 thigh, a portion of potatoes and a portion of green beans.

      I believe it states 415°F. It can be cooked a lower temperature, but it will take longer.

    I don’t have chicken breasts but have chicken legs skin on and bone in do you think it would be the same?

      Hi Juls,
      In this recipe, I've used skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs. Legs can be used too.
      Enjoy,
      Kathy 🙂
