Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken breasts cut into tenders (or buy the tenders!)
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp finely grated parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 tsp each dried oregano, thyme and crushed rosemary (use fresh if possible…)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 5 Tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb fresh green beans, tops trimmed
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced into halves
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish whisk together bread crumbs, parmesan, basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add 4 Tbsp olive oil to a separate shallow dish and stir in garlic.
- Working with one chicken tender at a time, dredge both sides in olive oil then immediately transfer to bread crumb mixture and coat both sides, while pressing to adhere. Transfer to one side of the baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining chicken tenders and placing them in a row along one side of baking sheet. Spread remaining bread crumbs over tops of chicken and gently press.
- On opposite side of baking dish, toss green beans with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Spread beans to edges of baking dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Roast in preheated oven 23 - 25 minutes, tossing green beans once halfway through cooking, until chicken is golden brown and green beans are crisp-tender (if you want the tomatoes roasted too add them during the last 10 minutes of cooking). Remove from oven, sprinkle tomatoes over green beans.
