step 2
Bake the chicken & green beans
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Transfer to one side of the tray(s). Evenly top with the cheesy breadcrumbs. Transfer the green beans to the other side of the tray(s). Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt, pepper, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Bake, uncovered, 20 to 22 minutes, or until the green beans are tender when pierced with a fork and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven.
The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.
step 3
Make the garlic bread & serve your dish
Once the chicken and green beans have roasted about 10 minutes, halve the baguette(s) lengthwise. Place directly onto an oven rack; bake 5 to 7 minutes, or until toasted. Transfer to a work surface. Evenly spread the softened butter onto the cut sides. Serve the baked chicken and green beans with the garlic bread. Enjoy!
