Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried oregano, and dried basil. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
Arrange green beans, cherry tomatoes, and halved artichoke hearts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil. With clean hands (or a spatula), mix the veggies to coat them with the oil.
When the oven is preheated, toss the chicken once more. Then, remove the chicken from the marinade and transfer to the sheet pan. Nestle the chicken in between the veggies.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked and veggies are fork-tender. Chicken is considered fully cooked when a food thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
Serve warm over cooked quinoa or brown rice and topped with optional fresh basil.

Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for use within 2-3 days. Freezing is not recommended.

Notes

Low FODMAP Serving: One serving (1 chicken thigh + ¼ pan of cooked veggies) contains low FODMAP amounts of ingredients. For more information on specific ingredients, please refer to the Monash FODMAP App or check out the “FODMAP Notes” section (above the recipe).

Chicken Breasts: I prefer chicken thighs, but have used chicken breasts. If using chicken breasts, I suggest the following modifications: 1) Use small chicken breasts, or slice larger chicken breasts in half crosswise (similar to butterflied chicken breast but sliced all the way through). I’ve found larger chicken breasts take longer than the veggies need to cook. 2) Consider marinating chicken breasts for at least 1 hour, but ideally 6-8 hours to help add flavor and tenderize the chicken.
