Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Chicken: If the chicken breasts are thick, consider slicing them in half horizontally to ensure even cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Potatoes: Peel the potatoes if desired and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Green Beans: Trim the ends of the green beans.
- In a large baking tray, arrange the potato slices in a single layer, overlapping slightly if necessary. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts on top of the potatoes. Pour the pasta sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
- Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the tray from the oven. Add the green beans around the chicken and potatoes, stirring gently to mix them into the sauce.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken breasts. Return the tray to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C), the potatoes are tender, and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Allow the tray bake to rest for a couple of minutes after removing it from the oven. Serve hot, making sure to spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking.
- Cut the potatoes into even, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook through at the same rate as the chicken.
- Lightly oil the baking tray to prevent sticking and promote a crispy texture.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs to enhance the flavor.
- Cover the tray with foil for the first 20 minutes of baking to keep the chicken moist, then remove it to allow the cheese to brown.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or cherry tomatoes for added color and nutrition.
- Allow the tray bake to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
