Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season both sides with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. In a baking dish, coat the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the garlic powder, ensuring an even distribution to enhance flavor throughout the roasting process.
2. 2.
   In a small bowl, mix the drained and rinsed white beans with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the dried rosemary. Toss well to coat the beans evenly. This combination will allow the beans to absorb rich flavors as they bake alongside the chicken.
3. 3.
   Place the chicken breast in the center of the baking dish, surrounded by the seasoned white beans. Make sure the beans are spread out evenly to ensure they crisp up nicely and provide a delightful texture contrast.
4. 4.
   Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the beans have a golden, slightly crispy exterior. If undercooked, continue baking for an additional few minutes, monitoring closely to prevent drying out the chicken.
5. 5.
   Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before slicing the chicken. This resting period helps the juices redistribute, keeping the meat moist and tender. Serve immediately, pairing each bite of juicy chicken with the flavorful, aromatic beans. Enjoy the simple yet savory flavors!
