Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

In a large baking dish, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and arrange thinly sliced lemons from one lemon in a single layer at the bottom of the dish.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, the juice of the second lemon, minced garlic, salt, and ground pepper. Mix well.

Add the green beans to the bowl and toss them in the lemony mixture until evenly coated. Using tongs, carefully remove the green beans, allowing excess oil to drip off, and arrange them atop the lemon slices in the baking dish.

Next, add the quartered red potatoes to the same olive oil mixture, tossing them to ensure they're well-coated. Arrange the potatoes on the inner edge of the dish, surrounding the green beans.
6
For extra flavor, sprinkle a lemon pepper mixture over the entire dish, enhancing aromas and tastes.
7
Coat the chicken breasts in the olive oil mixture, ensuring they're evenly covered, then place them in the baking dish on top of the vegetables.
8
Roast the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
9
Check the potatoes and green beans; if they need more cooking, continue roasting them for an additional 10-15 minutes until they are tender and crispy.

Once done, let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful lemon herb chicken with a side of vibrant vegetables!
