How to make Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

Ingredients:

1½ lb chicken breast (about 3-4 pieces, approx. 1 inch thick)
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves (minced)
⅓ cup grated parmesan
⅓ cup breadcrumbs (Italian or plain; add 1 tsp Italian seasoning to plain breadcrumbs!)
½ tsp cracked pepper
½ – ¾ tsp sea salt
2 lb red potatoes (cut into bite-sized pieces; if small, quartered, larger potatoes cut into 6ths or 8ths)
1 – 2 garlic clove (minced)
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp grated parmesan
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 lb fresh green beans (ends trimmed)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 Tbsp parmesan (optional)
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup or spray with cooking oil.
In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients for the potatoes: red potatoes, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1-2 minced garlic cloves, 2 Tbsp grated parmesan, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Spread the potatoes on one-third of the pan. Bake for about 10-15 minutes. If you prefer your potatoes browned, leave them in for an extra five minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the chicken. In the same bowl, mix chicken breast, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, ⅓ cup grated parmesan, ⅓ cup breadcrumbs, cracked pepper, and sea salt. Coat the chicken well.
After the potatoes have cooked for a bit, take out the pan and add the chicken.
Toss together the ingredients for the green beans: fresh green beans, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, optional parmesan, and salt and pepper. Add them to the pan.
Bake everything for about 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For extra crispy potatoes, switch the oven to broil on high for another 4-5 minutes, if desired.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
