Ingredients

1.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
12 ounce green beans (trimmed)
1 cup quinoa
2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the 1 1/2 pounds of chicken breasts and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
On the same baking sheet, add the 12 ounces of green beans. Drizzle them with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper (if not already used from a combined amount for seasoning chicken) and a tiny splash of olive oil if desired.
Roast for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the green beans are tender-crisp.
While the chicken and green beans are roasting, combine 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
Serve the Golden Herb Chicken with the roasted green beans and cooked quinoa.

Notes

Ensure chicken is sliced into even thickness for uniform cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
