Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This helps the coating adhere better.
3. Mix the Coating: In a bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat the Chicken: Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts. Then, press each chicken breast into the Parmesan mixture until fully coated.
5. Prepare Vegetables: Chop your choice of mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
6. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Lay the coated chicken breasts on the same baking sheet, ensuring they’re evenly spaced apart from the vegetables.
7. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley, if desired.
By following these steps, you’ll have a delicious and satisfying meal ready to enjoy without any fuss.
