Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6-8 oz each)
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Large rimmed baking sheet For even roasting
  • Parchment paper For easy cleanup and browning
  • Shallow bowl For coating mixture
  • Meat thermometer To check 165°F internal temperature

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  2. Toss baby potatoes and broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper on the pan. Spread in single layer and roast 10 minutes.
  3. Mix grated Parmesan, panko, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, remaining salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
  4. Pat chicken breasts dry and brush lightly with remaining olive oil. Press firmly into parmesan-panko mixture to coat both sides.
  5. Nestle coated chicken among the partially roasted vegetables on the sheet pan.
  6. Bake 20-22 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and vegetables are golden.
  7. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes until crust is deep golden and extra crispy.
  8. Rest 5 minutes, sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra parmesan if desired, then serve.

Notes

Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on a wire rack at 350°F for 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Coat chicken up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate for easy make-ahead prep.
