🔪 Preparation Tips

  • Slice potatoes thinly so they roast evenly

  • Pat chicken dry before seasoning for better flavor absorption

  • Cut vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even cooking

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

If time allows, let the chicken marinate for 10–15 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Step 3: Start Roasting the Potatoes & Carrots

Arrange sliced potatoes and chopped carrots on one side of the baking dish.

Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Toss gently to coat.

Place in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, allowing the vegetables to begin softening and caramelizing.

Step 4: Add Chicken and Mushrooms

Remove the baking dish from the oven. Arrange the marinated chicken slices in the center of the dish.

Scatter sliced mushrooms around the chicken and among the vegetables.

Return to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C) and vegetables are tender.

Step 5: Add Cheese and Green Beans

Remove the dish again. Toss green beans with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then add them to one side of the pan.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or provolone generously over the chicken.

Bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the green beans are crisp-tender.
