Tips and Tricks

• I highly recommend lining your sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy clean up.
• If you line the pan with foil, make sure you coat it with cooking spray so the food won’t stick.
• You can substitute boneless chicken breasts for the bone-in thighs. To do this, cut the breasts in half lengthwise (this will help speed up the cooking time) and reduce cooking time to 20 minutes.
• If you don’t have a shallot on hand, you can substitute a small onion or half of a medium size onion.
• To round out this meal, it’s delicious served with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or pesto rice.

Ingredients Needed to Make Sheet Pan Chicken and Green Beans

• Bone-in chicken thighs – I prefer to use bone in chicken thighs because they are less likely to dry out during the roasting process then boneless or bone in chicken breasts.
• Olive oil – This helps in the roasting process to get good caramelization and flavor as well as helping the seasonings stick to both the chicken and the vegetables.
• Italian seasoning – If you don’t have Italian seasoning, dried thyme can be substituted.
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Fresh oregano – 1 tsp of dried thyme can be substituted if you don’t have any fresh on hand.
• Garlic – Adds great flavor
• Shallot – I prefer this because of its more mild flavor, but red onion would be a good substitute.
• Grape tomatoes – I like to use these rather than cherry tomatoes because of their smaller size.
• Fresh Green Beans – I recommend fresh because frozen or canned green beans will not stand up well to roasting.
