Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3–4 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
- Prepare the oven by heating to 400°F and lining a sheet pan with parchment paper, creating a pristine cooking surface.
- Craft a savory coating by blending parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing vessel.
- Transform chicken breasts by generously brushing with olive oil, then carefully pressing each piece into the parmesan mixture, ensuring a thorough and even encrustation.
- 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.
- Roast the culinary composition in the heated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, rotating vegetables midway to promote even caramelization and golden coloration.
- Verify chicken doneness by confirming an internal temperature of 165°F, which guarantees both safety and optimal juiciness.
- 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.
