Ingredients
Scale
For the 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; if plain, add 1 tsp Italian seasoning)
- ½ tsp cracked pepper
- ½ – ¾ tsp sea salt
For the 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
For the 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the ingredients evenly on a sheet pan.
- Prepare Potatoes: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking oil. In a medium bowl, toss the red potatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes on one third of the pan and roast for 10-15 minutes, allowing them to start softening and browning. For crispier potatoes, aim for the full 15 minutes.
- Prepare Chicken: While the potatoes cook, in the same bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, minced garlic, parmesan, breadcrumbs, cracked pepper, and sea salt. Mix until the chicken is well coated with the parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
- Add Chicken and Green Beans: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the coated chicken breasts beside the partially cooked potatoes. In a separate bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, optional parmesan, salt, and pepper. Add the green beans to the remaining space on the pan.
- Bake Everything Together: 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) and the vegetables are tender.
- Optional Broil for Crispiness: For extra crispy potatoes, switch the oven to the broil setting on high and broil for 4-5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven, let everything cool for a few minutes, then serve your delicious Parmesan Crusted Chicken with roasted potatoes and green beans. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use Italian seasoned breadcrumbs for extra flavor or add Italian seasoning if using plain breadcrumbs.
- Ensure chicken pieces are about 1 inch thick for even cooking.
- Adjust roasting time based on your preferred crispiness level for potatoes and green beans.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm chicken is cooked safely to 165°F internal temperature.
- For easier cleanup, line your sheet pan with parchment paper or use a non-stick spray.
