💡 Tips for Perfect One-Pan Chicken
Use bone-in chicken for the juiciest results — thighs or drumsticks work best.
Add variety: Swap green beans for broccoli, carrots, or asparagus depending on the season.
Get extra crispy potatoes: Spread them out evenly on the pan so they roast instead of steaming.
Meal prep friendly: Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days — it reheats beautifully.
