Ingredients
Units
Scale
For The Chicken
- 5-6 Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2-3 tbsp Chicken Rub/Seasoning (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
For The Potatoes
- 1.5 lbs Baby Yellow Potatoes, halved
- Olive Oil (divided, about 2 tbsp total)
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
For The Green Beans
- 12 oz Fresh Green Beans, rinsed and snapped
- Olive Oil (about 1 tbsp)
- Vegetable Seasoning (your favorite brand or homemade, about 1 tsp)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat will help everything cook quickly while developing a beautiful caramelized finish.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the halved baby yellow potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and the Lipton onion soup mix until the potatoes are evenly coated with seasoning.
- Season the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs. Generously season them with your preferred chicken rub or seasoning blend, ensuring each thigh is well-coated for maximum flavor.
- Start Baking Chicken and Potatoes: Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs and the coated potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes to allow the potatoes to begin softening and the chicken to start cooking.
- Prepare the Green Beans: While the chicken and potatoes bake, toss the fresh green beans in a bowl with olive oil and vegetable seasoning until evenly coated.
- Add Green Beans and BBQ Sauce: After the initial 20 minutes, stir the potatoes on the sheet pan for even cooking. Spread the seasoned green beans on top of the potatoes and chicken. Next, generously brush about 1 cup of BBQ sauce over each chicken thigh, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Finish Baking: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Check for doneness by confirming the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), the potatoes are tender, and the green beans are cooked yet still crisp.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot, enjoying the combination of smoky BBQ chicken, flavorful potatoes, and fresh green beans straight from the sheet pan.
Notes
- This recipe is versatile; you can substitute chicken thighs with breasts, but breasts may cook faster and be less juicy.
- Feel free to swap green beans for other vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or asparagus depending on your preference and availability.
- Adjust seasoning amounts to taste, especially if using homemade rubs or sauces.
- Using a rimmed baking sheet prevents any juices or sauces from spilling in the oven, helping keep the cooking area clean.
