How To Make Parmesan Crusted Chiken Whit Veggies

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleaning.
2. In a medium bowl, toss all ingredients for potatoes together and stir well to evenly coat. Spread the potatoes on 1/3 of the pan and place in oven for about 10-15 minutes.
3. While potatoes are cooking, toss all ingredients for the parmesan crusted chicken in the same bowl and coat all the chicken well.
4. Remove the pan with the potatoes and add the chicken. Place in oven while you prepare the green beans.
5. Toss green beans with oil, garlic, and seasonings, then add them to the remaining space on the sheet pan.
6. Bake for about 25 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
7. For extra crispy potatoes, turn the oven to broil on high for 4-5 more minutes if desired.
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool several minutes before serving.

Tips For Thes Best Sheet Pan Parmesan Crusted Chiken

The size and thickness of your chicken breasts will significantly impact cooking time. If your chicken pieces are large or especially thick, you may need to add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

I’ve found that patting the chicken dry before adding the coating ingredients helps the parmesan and breadcrumbs stick better.

For the crispiest chicken, avoid crowding the pan. Each piece should have a little space around it to allow hot air to circulate.

If you prefer your green beans with more bite, add them to the sheet pan during the last 15 minutes of cooking instead of at the beginning.

The bottom of the chicken won’t get as crispy as the top since it’s in contact with the pan. For all-around crispiness, you can place a cooling rack on your sheet pan and put the chicken on top so air can circulate underneath.

Variations For Your Parmesan Crusted

Add Different Vegetables: Cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, or Brussels sprouts work wonderfully in this sheet pan meal. Just adjust cooking times as needed for harder vegetables.

Try Different Seasonings: Italian seasoning or oregano add a nice flavor boost to both the chicken and potatoes. About ½-1 teaspoon is perfect.

Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken coating or the vegetables for a bit of heat.

Switch Up The Cheese: While parmesan is classic, a mixture of parmesan and mozzarella on top of the chicken creates an extra gooey, delicious crust.

What To Serve Whit Parmesan Crusted Chiken

This sheet pan dinner is already a complete meal, but if you want to round it out further, consider these options:

• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette
• Easy Caesar Chicken pairs nicely as an alternative option
• Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta for a more indulgent meal
• Crusty bread to soak up any juices from the chicken

Storing And Reheating Tips

This parmesan crusted chicken sheet pan dinner makes fantastic leftovers! Store everything in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For best results when reheating, use an oven or toaster oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes. This helps maintain the crispy exterior of the chicken and prevents the vegetables from becoming mushy.

If you’re taking this for lunch, pack the components separately if possible, as the moisture from the vegetables can make the chicken coating soggy.
