Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then evenly coat them with the spice mixture. Set aside.
Wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the seasoned chicken breasts and potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the chicken and potatoes are baking, rinse the green beans and trim the ends if needed.
After 20 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the green beans around the chicken and potatoes.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Plate the chicken, potatoes, and green beans, and enjoy your quick and fuss-free Lazy Chicken meal!
