Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 chicken thighs bone in skin on, about 2 pounds total
  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1″ cubes, about 4 cups
  • 1 pound green beans frozen or fresh, thawed
Garlic Butter Sauce
  • 4 tbsp ghee or salted butter use olive oil for dairy-free
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme or 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Large cookie sheet (17"x12")
  • Small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF. If your green beans are frozen, take them out now to thaw at room temperature. They will need about 5 extra minutes of cooking time.
  2. Melt the ghee or butter over medium heat. Mix the melted fat with the minced garlic, rosemary or thyme, sea salt, and pepper to create the sauce.
  3. Place the cubed potatoes onto a large cookie sheet. Add the 4 chicken thighs to the sheet pan.
  4. Drizzle 3/4 of the garlic butter sauce over the chicken and potatoes. Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly. In a separate bowl, toss the thawed green beans with the remaining garlic butter and set them aside.
  5. Bake the chicken and potatoes for 25 minutes, or until they are mostly cooked. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 450ºF.
  6. Use a spatula to move the potatoes and chicken toward the center of the sheet pan to make space for the green beans. Add half of the green beans to one side of the pan and the other half to the opposite side.
  7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170ºF and the green beans are tender. Serve immediately.
