Instructions
Creating this delicious Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner is simple. Follow these steps to make it effortlessly:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness for consistent cooking.
3. Season the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts.
4. Coat the Chicken: In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
5. Prepare Vegetables: Slice the vegetables evenly and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat well. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the center of the sheet, surrounded by the seasoned vegetables.
7. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
9. Serve: Cut the chicken into slices to showcase the crispy crust and serve alongside the roasted vegetables.
Each of these straightforward steps ensures that you’ll have a delightful meal with minimal fuss.
