1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp black pepper

¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp salt
Optional Lemon Herb Finish
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Line a large sheet pan or baking dish with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

In a small bowl, combine:

Garlic powder
Onion powder
Paprika
Oregano
Salt
Pepper

Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

Step 3: Prepare Vegetables

Place potatoes and green beans in a large bowl.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with:

Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper

Toss until evenly coated.

Step 4: Arrange on Pan

Place chicken breasts in the center of the sheet pan.

Arrange potatoes and green beans around the chicken in a single layer.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until:

Chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
Potatoes are fork-tender.
Green beans are lightly roasted.

If desired, broil for the last 2–3 minutes for extra browning.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Remove from oven.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything and sprinkle with parsley.

Serve immediately.

WW Tips
Use cooking spray instead of olive oil to reduce Points further.
Swap chicken breasts for skinless chicken tenderloins to reduce cooking time.
Add extra non-starchy vegetables (broccoli, zucchini, asparagus) for more volume with minimal Points.
A honey-mustard glaze made from a small amount of honey and mustard can add flavor while keeping Points reasonable. WW offers a similar chicken-and-potatoes meal featuring mustard, potatoes, and green beans.
Meal Prep

Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

This recipe makes an easy, balanced WW-style dinner with lean protein, potatoes, and green beans all cooked on one pan.
