Ingredients
Chicken
- 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; can add 1 tsp Italian seasoning if plain)
- ½ tsp cracked pepper
- ½ – ¾ tsp sea salt
Potatoes
- 2 lb red potatoes, cut into bite sized pieces (quartered if small; 6ths or 8ths if larger)
- 1 – 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp grated parmesan
- Salt and pepper to taste
Green Beans
- 1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 Tbsp parmesan (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for roasting the components of your sheet pan dinner.
- Prepare and Roast Potatoes: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray it with cooking oil for easy cleanup. In a medium bowl, combine the cut red potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the potatoes. Spread them on one-third of the sheet pan and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, allowing them to begin browning.
- Coat and Add Chicken: While the potatoes roast, use the same bowl to toss the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic, parmesan, breadcrumbs, cracked pepper, and sea salt until well coated. After removing the potatoes from the oven, place the coated chicken breasts on another section of the sheet pan.
- Prepare and Add Green Beans: In the same bowl, toss trimmed green beans with olive oil, garlic, optional parmesan, salt, and pepper. Arrange the green beans in the remaining space on the sheet pan alongside the potatoes and chicken.
- Bake Until Done: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). For extra crispy potatoes and a crunchy top on the chicken, switch your oven to broil on high and broil for an additional 4-5 minutes if desired.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and allow the meal to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and enhances the flavors. Enjoy your wholesome, flavorful Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner!
Notes
- For extra crispy potatoes, broil at the end for 4-5 minutes.
- Using parchment paper or spraying the pan helps with easy cleanup.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste preferences.
- You can add 1 tsp Italian seasoning to plain breadcrumbs for more flavor.
- Make sure chicken is cooked to 165°F internal temperature for safety.
- This recipe is versatile—feel free to swap green beans with other vegetables like asparagus or broccoli.
