This sheet pan dinner takes the bright, briny flavors of classic chicken piccata and simplifies them into an easy weeknight meal. Chicken cutlets roast alongside baby potatoes and green beans, then everything gets finished with a quick lemon-caper butter sauce. It's a complete dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 12 ounces green beans, trimmed
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a 9x13-inch sheet pan (or standard half sheet pan) with parchment paper or foil.

  2. Toss the halved potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on one side of the sheet pan.

  3. Roast the potatoes alone for 15 minutes to give them a head start.

  4. While the potatoes roast, season the chicken cutlets with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then dredge each piece lightly in the flour, shaking off the excess.

  5. Toss the green beans with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.

  6. Remove the pan from the oven, push the potatoes to one side, and add the dredged chicken cutlets and green beans to the pan in a single layer.

  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the potatoes are tender, 15 to 18 minutes.

  8. While the pan finishes roasting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  9. Whisk in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 4 minutes.

  10. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and drizzle the lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, potatoes, and green beans.

  11. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
