Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or a thin coating of oil.
  • In a large bowl whisk the egg, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, chopped parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until combined.
  • Place the chicken in the egg mixture to coat. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for 30–60 minutes if time allows (optional).
  • In a separate bowl combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.
  • Dredge each egg-coated chicken piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres; set on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Arrange the quartered baby potatoes in a single layer around the chicken. In a small bowl mix half the melted butter with the remaining 2 teaspoons garlic and a pinch of salt, then pour this over the potatoes and toss to coat.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the tray, carefully flip each chicken piece, push potatoes to one side, and place the green beans on the other side of the sheet. Pour the remaining melted butter over the potatoes and vegetables.
  • Return to the oven and broil/grill on medium-high for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and crisp and the potatoes are cooked through. Check to avoid over-browning.
  • Sprinkle with extra chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
