  • Measuring Cups
  • Rolling pin or heavy pan
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb baby red potatoes quartered
  • 12 oz fresh green beans trimmed
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to an even thickness
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Tastefully Simple® Avocado Oil divided
  • 1 tbsp Tastefully Simple® Seasoned Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Tastefully Simple® Spinach & Herb Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Place the quartered baby red potatoes and trimmed green beans on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the vegetables with 1 tablespoon avocado oil and toss with your hands to coat evenly.
  • Season the potatoes and green beans with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon seasoned pepper, and arrange them on the baking sheet leaving a space in the center for the chicken.
  • Place the pounded chicken breasts in the center of the baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil and season both sides with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, shredded Parmesan, and Spinach & Herb Seasoning until smooth.
  • Spread the mayonnaise mixture in an even layer over the top of each chicken breast.
  • Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer and the potatoes are tender.
  • If desired, broil on high for 1–2 minutes to brown the topping, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Pound chicken to even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips.
  • Watch closely if broiling to avoid burning the topping.
  • Ensure chicken reaches safe internal temperature before serving.
