Ingredients
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 cheese
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs (Italian or plain; add 1 tsp Italian seasoning if plain)
- ½ tsp cracked black pepper
- ½ – ¾ tsp sea salt
Potatoes
- 2 lb red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces (if small, quartered; if large, cut into 6ths or 8ths)
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Green Beans
- 1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 Tbsp parmesan cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F to prepare for roasting the ingredients evenly and quickly.
- Prepare and Roast Potatoes: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking oil for easy cleanup. In a medium bowl, toss together the bite-sized red potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the potatoes on one-third of the sheet pan and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, allowing them to brown nicely if you choose the longer time.
- Prepare Chicken and Add to Pan: While the potatoes roast, mix the chicken breasts with olive oil, minced garlic, parmesan, breadcrumbs, cracked pepper, and sea salt in the same bowl, coating them thoroughly. After removing the pan with potatoes from the oven, push potatoes to one side, add the coated chicken breasts to the pan, then place the pan back into the oven.
- Prepare Green Beans and Combine: Toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, optional parmesan, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly coated. Add the green beans to the sheet pan with the chicken and potatoes.
- Finish Baking: Continue baking for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. For extra crispy potatoes, switch the oven to broil on high for 4-5 minutes at the end of the cooking time if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and allow the meal to cool for several minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful and effortless parmesan crusted chicken sheet pan dinner!
Notes
- You can use Italian seasoned breadcrumbs or plain with added Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor of the chicken crust.
- Adjust salt and pepper amounts according to your taste preferences, especially if using salted parmesan cheese.
- To ensure even cooking, try to cut potatoes into uniform sizes.
- Broiling at the end helps to achieve extra crispiness on potatoes and chicken crust if desired.
- Use a meat thermometer to check chicken doneness for food safety.
