    Step-By-Step Instructions

    Steps to make the chicken and the sauce.

    Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 ℉.

    Step 2: Arrange the diced potatoes, green beans, and chicken breast on a sheet pan.

    Step 3: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the potatoes, then season them with salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix the potatoes and oil/seasonings until they are evenly coated.

    Step 4: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

    Step 5: Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and butter, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

    Step 6: Gradually pour in the nonfat milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add the reduced-fat cream cheese and continue to whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

    Step 7: Stir in the oregano and thyme leaves, then pour the sauce over the chicken, potatoes, and green beans.

    Step 8: Bake the sheet pan chicken and potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

    Step 9: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the entire sheet pan.

    Step 10: Optional, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

    Expert Tips

    • Use a meat thermometer. The best way to be sure that your chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 ℉.
    • Cut the potatoes into small pieces. To be sure that the potatoes cook evenly and become tender, it's important to cut them into small, bite-sized pieces.
    • Use fresh herbs. While dried herbs can be used in this recipe, using fresh herbs will add more flavor and aroma to the dish.
    • Thaw the green beans. Be sure to thaw the frozen green beans before adding them to the sheet pan. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming too soggy.

    Variations

    • Lemon Herb Chicken and Potatoes: Add lemon juice and zest to the olive oil mixture and use herbs like rosemary, thyme, and parsley for a bright and zesty flavor.
    • Honey Mustard Chicken and Vegetables: Mix honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil together and use as a marinade for the chicken and vegetables. Season with thyme and garlic for a sweet and tangy flavor.
    • Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas: Slice the chicken into thin strips and add bell peppers and onions to the sheet pan. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic, and lime juice for a Tex-Mex inspired meal.
    • Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken and Vegetables: Mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, and garlic together and use as a marinade for the chicken and vegetables. Roast with thyme and oregano for a sweet and tangy flavor.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: To store leftover sheet pan boneless chicken breast and potatoes, let them cool to room temperature, then transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat the leftovers in the microwave, oven or on the stovetop.

    Freezing: wrap the chicken and potatoes tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and store them in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, let the dish thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

    Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Keep in mind that the cooking time may be slightly longer, as chicken thighs are typically thicker and take longer to cook.

    Can I use other vegetables in this recipe?

    Yes, you can use any vegetables that you like in this recipe. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time as needed, as some vegetables may cook faster or slower than others.

    Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh herbs?

    Yes, you can use dried herbs instead of fresh herbs. Just keep in mind that dried herbs are more potent than fresh herbs, so you will need to use less.
