German Herb Roasted Chicken with Brussels Sprouts and Green Beans
Tips for Experienced Cooks
Experiment with your own herb blends to personalize the flavor profile of the dish. For example, adding a bit of garlic powder or smoked paprika can offer a different twist. Consider searing the chicken breasts in a pan before baking for a more complex flavor and texture. Additionally, roasting the vegetables on a preheated sheet pan can lead to better caramelization and a more appealing texture.
