1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet with sides.
2

Place chicken quarters on the prepared baking sheet. Stir potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon herb seasoning together in a large bowl to coat the potatoes. Arrange the potatoes around the chicken on the baking sheet. Pour some of the oil mixture over the chicken, reserving the remaining oil mixture; drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the chicken and potatoes.
3

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes; shake the baking sheet to loosen the potatoes, then continue baking for 15 minutes. Place green beans in the reserved oil mixture and toss to coat. Remove the chicken and potatoes from the oven; pour the green bean mixture over the chicken and potatoes.
4

Return the pan to the oven and bake until the green beans are tender with a bite, the chicken is no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
