Tips to Make Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in olive oil and your favorite herbs for a few hours before coating it with Parmesan.
If you like a crispier finish, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
You can swap out the vegetables based on your preference—broccoli, bell peppers, or zucchini work well too!

Variation

Feel free to add different spices to the Parmesan mixture or use different types of cheese like mozzarella or cheddar for a twist on flavor. You can also replace baby potatoes with sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter and healthier option.
