Ingredients: 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken cutlets (about 5 pieces, approx. 4.5-5 oz each); ½ cup olive oil; 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar; 0.75 oz packet garlic & herb dressing mix (such as Good Seasons brand); 1 pound baby gold potatoes; 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes; 1½ cups fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed to bite-sized pieces; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon salt; ½ teaspoon black pepper; ¼ cup fresh grated parmesan cheese; 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Ingredients

1½ pounds (5 pieces, approx. 4.5-5 oz. each) boneless skinless chicken cutlets

1 pound baby gold potatoes

1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes

1½ cups fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed

½ cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

0.75 oz packet garlic & herb dressing mix (such as Good Seasons brand)

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet.

Step 2: In a medium measuring cup, combine ½ cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and the garlic & herb dressing mix. Pour this marinade into a zip-top bag with the chicken cutlets. Seal and let marinate while the oven preheats.

Step 3: In a large bowl, toss the baby gold potatoes, grape tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 4: Place the baking sheet in the oven to preheat for 5 minutes. Remove carefully, then arrange the marinated chicken, potatoes, and tomatoes on the hot baking sheet. Spoon any extra marinade over the chicken. Bake for 15 minutes.

Step 5: Add the green beans to the bowl that held the potatoes and tomatoes and gently toss to coat them in the remaining olive oil.

Step 6: After the first 15 minutes of baking, remove the pan and increase oven temperature to 450°F (230°C). Add the green beans to the baking sheet in open spaces, then return it to the oven for another 15 minutes.

Step 7: When finished, remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the fresh grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the chicken and vegetables before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours before cooking.

Swap baby gold potatoes with fingerling potatoes or sweet potatoes for a different twist.

Add sliced red onions or bell peppers for additional color and sweetness.

If you prefer crispier skin, broil the dish for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.

FAQs

Can I use bone-in chicken instead of cutlets?

Yes, but adjust the cooking time accordingly. Bone-in pieces will take longer to cook fully, so bake until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), which may take 25-35 minutes in total.

What if I don’t have a garlic & herb dressing mix?

You can substitute with a mixture of garlic powder, dried herbs like oregano and basil, salt, and pepper. Combine about 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried herbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper as a simple homemade alternative.
