Cooking Steps
• Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Quarter lemon.
• Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on middle rack, tossing halfway through, until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with half the paprika, a pinch of chili powder, salt, and pepper. (You’ll use the rest of the paprika later. Save the remaining chili powder for another use.) • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add chicken and sear until golden brown, 2 minutes per side (you’ll finish cooking the chicken in the next step). • Turn off heat; transfer chicken to one side of a second baking sheet. Wipe out pan and let cool slightly.
• Add zucchini to opposite side of baking sheet from chicken and toss with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until chicken is cooked through and zucchini is lightly browned and tender, 10-12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board.
• While everything roasts, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-4 minutes. • Add beans and their liquid, stock concentrate, remaining paprika, and ¼ cup water (1/3 cup for 4 servings); season with salt and pepper. • Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. TIP: If beans seem too thick, stir in a splash of water.
• In a small bowl, combine yogurt and juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings). Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
• Stir roasted veggies into pan with beans. • Slice chicken crosswise. • Divide beans and veggies between shallow bowls; top with chicken. Drizzle with yogurt sauce and garnish with scallion greens. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the smoky paprika seasoning and bean base, though some found it bland and wanted more herbs or spices.
- Ease of prep: Simple to make for most, but a few felt it had too many steps or pans for the result.
- Suggestions: Consider adding garlic, more carrots, or serving with bread to soak up the bean liquid 🍞.
- Portions: Some found it filling and protein-rich; others wanted larger servings, especially of the vegetables.
- Texture: A few noted the beans were soupy; try reducing liquid or simmering longer for a thicker consistency.
Reviews from our home cooks
This was sooo good! It was also super easy to make. I burnt the carrots the first time, because I lost track of time of them in the oven. The second time around, I modified the cook time between them and the zucchini. After the carrots, zucchini and chicken all cooked on the same pan, I then added the veggies to the beans. The beans / veggie mix was still pretty saucy but I didn't mind. Everything was delicious. Easy prep, easy clean up and its presentation was nice.
This was a big hit with my family. My husband loved all the healthy ingredients and my kids loved it too. A lot of chopping involved, but other than that it was not a hard recipe. The lemony yogurt sauce was very simple, but delicious!
This is really delicious! I added more paprika from my own supply and I also added cayenne pepper to make it spicy. Chili pepper flakes go well with it, too. However, it has a lot of flavor and does stand alone without the extra spices. Will definitely make this one again.
Perfection!!! My husband and I were both practically licking our plates when we were done with dinner. 10/10. I did have to put the zucchini and two thicker pieces of chicken back in the oven for an extra five minutes (chicken was reading 150-155 F), no big deal just a heads up for timing.
I think this dish could benefit either from an additional ingredient to give it more crunch or solidity (like a rice base) or from a different way to prepare the white beans, because all the vegetables (carrots, zucchini, beans) came out having kind of the same texture (soft). Could also be user error and I cooked incorrectly, but just a suggestion.
Unless I misunderstood the final product, when you add the beans with their liquid, demi-glace, and water to the pan with the scallions, it definitely takes longer than 1-2 minutes for the sauce to thicken. It maybe seemed like an error? Mine needed 7-8 minutes to thicken. The yogurt sauce was a bit bland, would have been good with some garlic powder or paprika added into that.
Overall great recipe! Very healthy. Noticed that the beans ended up a lot more watery from following the instructions than I bargained for. Also, I tend to like things very flavorful/spicy and I found this to be a bit lacking in the spice department... could have done with more spice. Would still eat again!
My husband and I really enjoyed this one. The beans were filling and the chicken was tasty - loved the seasoning on this one. Love the lemon and zucchini.
I actually cooked the veggies and chicken in the air fryer, then made the beans and added the rest of the ingredients to the beans. Did make more of the yogurt sauce. Will definitely make again.
I'd like more recipes like this, with beans as the carb instead of rice or couscous. Healthy and delicious.
