Ingredients
- 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (or boneless if preferred)
- 12 oz fresh green beans trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: lemon wedges and fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
- Season the chicken

- Assemble on sheet pan
