Sheet-Pan Lemon-Garlic Chicken and Green Bean Breakfast Hash
Start your day with a protein-packed, gut-friendly hash that comes together on a single sheet pan. Bite-sized pieces of chicken thigh and crisp-tender green beans are tossed with garlic-infused oil (a Monash-approved way to get that savory garlic flavor without the FODMAPs found in actual garlic cloves) and bright, fragrant lemon zest, then roasted until golden and caramelized at the edges. A quick fried egg on top adds richness and ties the whole dish together into a satisfying, balanced breakfast. This recipe is designed with the Low-FODMAP Diet in mind, making it a safe and delicious option for anyone managing IBS or other functional gut disorders. By using garlic-infused oil instead of whole garlic and sticking to low-FODMAP vegetables like green beans, this hash delivers bold, savory flavor without the digestive distress that high-FODMAP aromatics can trigger. It's an easy make-ahead option too—roast a double batch and reheat portions throughout the week, adding a freshly fried egg each morning. Whether you're in the elimination phase of the diet or simply looking for a reliable, flavorful breakfast that won't upset your stomach, this sheet-pan hash checks every box: minimal cleanup, big flavor, and plenty of protein to keep you full until lunch.

Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Dice the chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and trim the green beans, cutting them into 1-inch segments.
- Zest the lemons to get about 1 tablespoon of zest, then juice them to get 2 tablespoons of juice.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken and green beans with garlic-infused oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme. Toss well to coat evenly.
- Spread the chicken and green bean mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven, stirring once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the green beans are tender with caramelized edges, about 20-22 minutes. 21:00
- While the hash finishes roasting, heat butter or garlic-infused oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. 4:00
- Divide the roasted chicken and green bean hash among four plates, top each with a fried egg, and garnish with chopped chives and extra thyme if desired.
