Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 teaspoons neutral oil (refined avocado oil recommended)
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
BBQ Chicken
- 3 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 to 3 teaspoons chicken seasoning/rub (such as Kinder’s Chicken seasoning)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
Green Beans
- 12 ounces fresh green beans, rinsed and ends snapped
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil (refined avocado oil recommended)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature ensures the potatoes cook quickly and caramelize nicely.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced Yukon gold potatoes with 2 teaspoons of oil and the packet of Lipton onion soup mix, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Bake Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to start crisping and cooking them.
- Season Chicken: While the potatoes bake, season the chicken breasts evenly with 2 to 3 teaspoons of your chosen chicken seasoning or rub. Set aside.
- Prepare Green Beans: In a separate large bowl, drizzle the green beans with 1 teaspoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat all the beans.
- Add Chicken and Green Beans: After the initial 20 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet. Push the potatoes to one side and arrange the seasoned chicken breasts and green beans on the empty side in an even layer.
- Bake Again: Return the pan to the oven and bake everything together for 15 minutes, allowing the chicken to start cooking and green beans to roast.
- Add BBQ Sauce: Take the pan out again, pour the BBQ sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, then place back in the oven to bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes. This caramelizes the sauce and finishes cooking the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chicken is fully cooked and sauce caramelized, remove from oven and serve warm alongside the potatoes and green beans.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F for safety and juiciness.
- If using larger chicken breasts, cooking time may need slight adjustment.
- Refined avocado oil is recommended for its high smoke point, but you may substitute with other neutral oils like canola or grapeseed.
- For spicier flavor, add smoked paprika or cayenne powder to the chicken seasoning.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
