For the Green Beans:
- 1 lb green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and place on one side of the baking sheet.
- Make the Crust:
- In a bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, Italian herbs, and parsley.
- Spoon the mixture evenly onto each chicken breast, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Prepare the Green Beans:
- Toss green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread them on the other side of the baking sheet.
- Bake:
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown, the crust is crispy, and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Stir the green beans halfway through cooking.
- Serve:
- Garnish with additional parsley and serve hot. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or enjoy as-is for a low-carb option.
Notes
- Substitute green beans with asparagus or broccoli for variety.
- Use seasoned breadcrumbs for extra flavor if desired.
- Add a squeeze of lemon over the finished dish for a bright, zesty touch.
