Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts evenly with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set them aside while you prepare the vegetables.
Prepare Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, toss the quartered baby potatoes and fresh green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the vegetables evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Assemble the Dish: Nestle the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the arranged vegetables in the baking dish for even cooking and flavor melding.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until combined. Drizzle this sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables to add moisture and tangy flavor.
Roast: Place the baking dish in the oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice the chicken breasts and serve with the remaining sauce drizzled on top.
