Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
-
Step 2.
Sprinkle the chicken breasts with ½ teaspoon salt. Drape 2 slices of pancetta over each piece of chicken and tuck the ends underneath to wrap the chicken; place on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Step 3.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast the chicken for 12 minutes.
-
Step 4.
While the chicken roasts, in a bowl, toss the green beans with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
-
Step 5.
After 12 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Scatter the green beans around the chicken on the sheet.
-
Step 6.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the green beans are golden brown and tender, 10 to 12 minutes more.
-
Step 7.
Serve the chicken and green beans with lemon wedges.
