how to make Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb chicken breast (about 3-4 pieces) (approx. 1 inch thick)

2 T olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 c grated parmesan

1/3 c breadcrumbs (Italian or plain—can add 1 tsp Italian seasoning to plain breadcrumbs)

1/2 tsp cracked pepper

1/2 – 3/4 tsp sea salt

2 lb red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces (if small, quartered; larger potatoes will be cut into 6ths or 8ths)

1 – 2 garlic cloves, minced (for potatoes)

2 T olive oil (for potatoes)

2 T grated parmesan (for potatoes)

salt and pepper to taste (for potatoes)

1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed

1 T olive oil (for green beans)

1 garlic clove, minced (for green beans)

1 T parmesan (optional, for green beans)

salt and pepper to taste (for green beans)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 425°F.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup or spray it with cooking oil.

In a medium bowl, toss all the ingredients for the potatoes together until well coated.

Spread the potatoes on one-third of the pan and place it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. If you like your potatoes browned, bake for the full 15 minutes.

While the potatoes are cooking, toss all the ingredients for the chicken in the same bowl until the chicken is well coated.

Remove the pan with the potatoes and add the chicken.

While everything is cooking, toss together the ingredients for the green beans and add them to the pan.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. For extra crispy potatoes, you can turn the oven to broil on high for 4-5 minutes if desired.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

tips to make Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

For added flavor, let the chicken marinate in olive oil and garlic for a while before coating it in parmesan and breadcrumbs.

To save even more time, prep your ingredients ahead and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook.

Adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding more garlic or herbs if you like.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen chicken?
Yes, but it’s best to thaw it completely before cooking for even cooking and optimal texture.

2. What can I use instead of parmesan?
You can try using other types of cheese like mozzarella or cheddar, although they will give a different flavor.

3. How do I know when the chicken is done?
Check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer for safe consumption.
