How to Make Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner
Step 1: Prep the oven and pan
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
Step 2: Coat the chicken
In a shallow dish, mix together Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and press into the Parmesan mixture to coat both sides evenly.
Step 3: Prepare the veggies
In a bowl, toss baby potatoes and green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread around the chicken on the sheet pan.
Step 4: Bake it
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
Pro tip: Broil the pan for the last 2-3 minutes if you want a crispier crust.
Step 5: Serve & enjoy
Top with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a burst of brightness.
Pro Tips for the Best Parmesan Crusted Chicken
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor and melt.
- Pound chicken breasts to even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Swap green beans with asparagus or broccoli if preferred.

What to Serve With Parmesan Crusted Chicken
