Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 1.5 pounds (680 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 34 pieces)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Coating and Seasonings:

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables and Oils:

  • 1.5 pounds (680 grams) baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 pound (454 grams) fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven by heating to 400°F and lining a sheet pan with parchment paper, creating a pristine cooking surface.
  2. Craft a savory coating by blending parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing vessel.
  3. Transform chicken breasts by generously brushing with olive oil, then carefully pressing each piece into the parmesan mixture, ensuring a thorough and even encrustation.
  4. Strategically arrange the parmesan-coated chicken on one section of the sheet pan, positioning vegetables on the opposite side with a light olive oil drizzle and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  5. Roast the culinary composition in the heated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, rotating vegetables midway to promote even caramelization and golden coloration.
  6. Verify chicken doneness by confirming an internal temperature of 165°F, which guarantees both safety and optimal juiciness.
  7. For enthusiasts seeking ultimate crispness, activate the broiler and allow the dish to develop a gloriously golden, crunchy exterior for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Notes

  • Moisture Magic: Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking chicken, which can dry out the meat and make it tough.
  • Crispy Coating Trick: Pat chicken breasts dry before coating to help the parmesan mixture adhere better and create a crunchier exterior.
  • Veggie Variety: Choose vegetables with similar cooking times like broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini to ensure even roasting.
  • Gluten-Free Adaptation: Swap panko breadcrumbs for gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour to make the recipe celiac-friendly.
