(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
chicken breast
parmesan cheese, grated
breadcrumbs
olive oil
garlic, minced
italian seasoning
paprika
salt
black pepper
broccoli florets
carrots, sliced
potatoes, diced
Directions
I start by preheating the oven to 200°C (400°F) and lining a sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, I mix the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. I coat the chicken breasts with a bit of olive oil, then press them into the parmesan mixture so they are evenly coated.
I place the coated chicken on the sheet pan. Around it, I spread the broccoli, carrots, and potatoes, tossing them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
I bake everything for about 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy, while the vegetables are tender and slightly roasted.
Once done, I remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Servings and timing
I usually get about 4 servings from this recipe.
Prep time takes around 15 minutes, and cooking time is about 25–30 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes swap the vegetables with green beans, zucchini, or bell peppers. When I want extra crispiness, I broil the chicken for a few minutes at the end. I also like adding a squeeze of lemon juice over the chicken before serving for a fresh touch.
storage/reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I use the oven or air fryer to help keep the chicken crispy instead of using the microwave.
FAQs
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
I can use thighs, and they often turn out juicier, though I may need to adjust cooking time.
How do I keep the crust from falling off?
I press the coating firmly onto the chicken and make sure it’s well coated with oil beforehand.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
I replace the breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives or crushed nuts.
What vegetables work best?
I like using vegetables that roast well, such as potatoes, carrots, broccoli, or zucchini.
Can I prepare this ahead of time?
I can prep everything in advance and store it in the fridge, then bake when ready.
Conclusion
I enjoy making this parmesan crusted chicken sheet pan dinner because it’s simple, convenient, and full of flavor. It’s a dependable meal that brings together crispy chicken and roasted vegetables in one easy dish.
