A flavorful Greek-inspired dish featuring marinated chicken grilled to perfection, served with crispy roasted potatoes and tender green beans. Perfect for family gatherings, this meal is both satisfying and kid-friendly.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 lemons (zested and juiced)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 800 grams baby potatoes, halved
• 300 grams green beans, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 min.
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
4. On a baking tray, spread the halved baby potatoes and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
5. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 min.
6. After 20 min, add the marinated chicken breasts to the baking tray and return to the oven. Roast for another 20 min, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden.
7. In the last 5 min of cooking, add the green beans to the baking tray.
8. Once done, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
