Herb-Mustard Roasted Chicken with Baby Potatoes & Green Beans 🍗🥔🌿

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 35–40 minutes
Servings: 4
Calories per serving: ~500–550 kcal

Ingredients

🍗 For the herb mustard chicken:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp Dijon or whole grain mustard

1 garlic clove, minced

1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary or thyme

Salt & pepper to taste

🥔 For the roasted potatoes:

500 g (1.1 lb) baby potatoes, halved

1½ Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Salt and black pepper

🌱 For the green beans:

1½ cups fresh green beans, trimmed

1 tsp olive oil or butter

Salt to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven:
Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or sheet.

Season the chicken:
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, mustard, garlic, rosemary (or thyme), salt, and pepper. Rub all over chicken breasts and set aside to marinate briefly while you prep the potatoes.

Prepare the potatoes:
Toss halved baby potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on one side of the baking dish.

Bake chicken and potatoes:
Place seasoned chicken beside the potatoes in the dish. Roast for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internal temp and potatoes are tender with golden edges. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steam the green beans:
While the chicken is resting, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and blanch for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and toss with a little olive oil or butter and salt.

Finish and serve:
Slice the roasted chicken and serve with the golden potatoes and green beans. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the potatoes for color and freshness.

Notes & Variations

For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice over the chicken just before serving.

Dijon or whole grain mustard both work — whole grain gives extra texture as seen in the image.

Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes or carrots if preferred.

The dish can also be made on a sheet pan for easy cleanup.
