This Spinach Herb Baked Chicken Recipe is a complete meal with juicy chicken breasts, tender seasoned potatoes and fresh green beans all made on just one pan!
I’m super excited to partner with Tastefully Simple again to share another quick and easy recipe featuring some of my favorite products! You guys, this recipe will seriously blow you away.
How To Make Spinach Herb Baked Chicken Recipe
- Start by tossing your quartered baby red potatoes and fresh green beans in Tastefully Simple® Avocado Oil, season with salt and their Seasoned Pepper.
- Place three large chicken breasts on your baking sheet (make sure they’re pounded to an even thickness).
- Drizzle with a little avocado oil, salt and pepper then combine some mayo, parmesan cheese and Tastefully Simple’s new Spinach & Herb Seasoning. Spread that over the top of the chicken breasts and pop in your oven!
That’s it! A whole, nutritious and MEGA delicious dinner ready in about 45 minutes from start to finish. BOOM!
What’s In The Seasoned Pepper?
What I love most about the seasoning and spices from Tastefully Simple is that you can easily see what’s inside each one. For instance, the new Seasoned Pepper consists of: black pepper, red bell pepper, sugar, oregano and paprika. Simple, delicious and adds the perfect flavor for these potatoes and green beans.
How To Get JUICY Oven Baked Chicken Breasts
When it comes to the baked chicken breasts, I took the same methods I use in my JUICY oven baked chicken recipe and applied them here.
- Make sure you pound your chicken to an even thickness
- Cook at a high temperature
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
The only difference is that instead of a spice rub to coat the chicken, I’ve mixed up a creamy and cheesy spinach herb topping that adds so much flavor with just 3 simple ingredients.
Sheet Pan Dinner Tips and Variations
So how does the chicken, potatoes AND green beans all get cooked at the same time and still come out perfectly? Well, there are a few things you need to keep in mind in order to make sure your dinner is a success.
- Make sure you quarter (cut into 4 equal pieces) your BABY red potatoes. If your potato pieces are too large, they wont have time to cook all the way through.
- Pound your chicken breast to an even thickness. This is the third time I’ve said that, so trust me – IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
- You can use a variety of vegetables in place of the green beans, just make sure they’re similar in size to the potatoes (Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower).
- Check the internal temperature of your chicken with an instant read thermometer. Really, chicken breasts come in all shapes and sizes, so to get a perfect cook time, you’ll want to check that internal temperature for 160 degrees F.
- Let the chicken rest! The internal temperature should continue to rise after it’s removed from the oven to 165 degrees F, giving you that perfectly cooked, juicy chicken breast.
Are you wondering what’s in the Spinach & Herb Seasoning too? Here is the list of ingredients: Spinach flakes, onion, minced green onion, dill, garlic.
That seasoning is so yummy on top of this juicy chicken. You’re going to love how quick this dinner comes together.
BONUS – since everything cooks on one pan, it means less dishes for you!

HELPFUL PRODUCTS TO MAKE THIS RECIPE:
Spinach Herb Baked Chicken Breast Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb. baby red potatoes, quartered
- 12 oz. fresh green beans, trimmed
- 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness (using a rolling pin or heavy pan)
- 1 1/2 tbsp Tastefully Simple® Avocado Oil, divided
- 1 tbsp Tastefully Simple® Seasoned Pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 tbsp Tastefully Simple® Spinach & Herb Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Grab a large, rimmed baking sheet and add the quartered baby red potatoes and green beans. Drizzle with 1 tbsp Avocado oil and use your hands to evenly coat the potatoes and green beans with the oil. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tbsp Seasoned Pepper and then divide the potatoes and green beans on each side of the baking sheet, creating a space between the two where the chicken will go.
- Place the chicken on the baking sheet and drizzle with 1/2 tbsp Avocado oil, season both sides with the remaining salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- In a small bowl whisk together the mayo, parmesan cheese and Spinach & Herb seasoning. Spread the mixture over the top of the chicken breasts in an even layer.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 160 degrees F. If desired, turn the broiler on high for the last minute or two to brown the cheese topping (careful to not let it burn). Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Loved the seasonings. And so easy! Quick question though, after drizzling chicken with avocado oil and seasoning both sides with remaining salt and pepper, does the avocado oil side go down onto the pan with spinach herb mixture on top or does avocado oil side go up with spinach herb mixture on top? Seems like if it’s the latter the chicken would stick to the pan? I oiled both sides of the chicken to be safe, but curious to know your intention. Thanks!

This was awesome. I didn’t have the spinach herb seasoning, but a herb grinder and I used broccoli instead of green beans because of the availability here. Chicken was very tender. Thank you Barbara

Don’t have the spinach and herb seasoning, so made with McCormick roasted garlic and herb seasoning! And used lawrys seasoned pepper. We’ll see how it goes!
Amanda
This looks amazing! Wondering if sour cream could be used instead of Mayo.
Shawn
No, I would not use sour cream in place of mayo for this recipe. The mayo helps create flavor and consistency for the topping. Sour cream would be too tangy and runny.
Melissa
I made this tonight and it is so good! Definitely going to make it again, it was loved by the whole family! I did add some garlic powder to the green beans, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious!
Shawn
Love that addition! So glad you enjoyed it!
Leah
This was great! I didn’t have the correct spice blend BUT I used half a packet of ranch seasoning mix and it turned out great!
I made it with the cheese this time but am hoping to find a substitute so I can have it more often (dairy does not agree with me)
I made this recipe last night, but didn’t take a picture of it. It was delicious. So easy to make and very tasty. Will definitely make it again.

We made this recipe for the first time about 6 months ago… it has been a staple ever since. So good and so easy.
Shawn
That’s so great to hear Kristi! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
June Manley
I was looking for something that was different and this meal was that. So very good
Shawn
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it!
carol heckman
could I use something other than mayo? My family doesn’t like the taste of warm mayo.
Shawn
The fats in the mayo really help to make the topping, but you could also try a plain greek yogurt in it’s place.

Excellent recipe. I love your recipe.
Shawn
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
Susan
Hi!
Is it okay to use boneless skinless chicken tenders?
Shawn
Hey Susan, yes, that should work just fine! Just make sure to check the temperature of the chicken tenders for 165 degrees. They might cook a little faster since they’re smaller.
Becky Teasley
Where do you get the spinach herb seasoning? I’ve looked everywhere.
I’m making this for the first time and had to settle for Knorr dry vegetable recipe mix. Fingers crossed.
Shawn
The spinach herb seasoning is from Tastefully Simple! You can find it HERE!

Unfortunately, Tastefully Simple products are not available in stores and they do not have any one in Japan who sells it. Too bad, this recipe looks grand.
Shawn
Oh bummer! Do they not ship internationally? Have you checked their website yet? If you use my code you can get 15% off too! (WASHDRY15)
Danielle
I googled ingredients of the products and just eyeballed measurements. I’m not good that doing that type of thing at all! BUT it worked fine that way.
Shawn
I’m glad you were able to get it to work with what you had. I would suggest buying the spice blend, you’ll love it!
