How to Make Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner
Step 1: Preheat & Prep the Sheet Pan
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2: Roast the Potatoes First
- In a medium bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them on 1/3 of the sheet pan and bake for 10-15 minutes to give them a head start.
📌 Tip: If you love extra crispy potatoes, go for the full 15 minutes.
Step 3: Coat & Add the Chicken
- In the same bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the chicken breasts in the mixture to coat evenly.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the Crusted Chicken in the center.
Step 4: Add the Green Beans
- Toss green beans with olive oil, garlic, parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them on the remaining 1/3 of the sheet pan.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden & Crispy
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165°F.
- For extra crispy potatoes, turn the oven to broil on high for 4-5 minutes at the end.
Step 6: Rest & Serve
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your one-pan, no-fuss dinner!
Pro Tips for Making the Best Sheet Pan Chicken
- Adjust Cooking Time for Thick Chicken – If your Crusted Chicken breasts are larger than 1 inch thick, they may need extra time (cover with foil to prevent over-browning).
- Use a Baking Rack for Extra Crispy Chicken – Placing the Crusted Chicken on a rack prevents it from getting soggy on the bottom.
- Evenly Cut Potatoes – Make sure they are all similar in size to ensure even roasting.
- Toss in Fresh Herbs – Add oregano, thyme, or Italian seasoning for even more flavor!
- Swap Out the Veggies – Try this recipe with asparagus, bell peppers, or Brussels sprouts.
How to Serve Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner
This dish is a complete meal on its own, but here are a few ways to elevate it:
- Drizzle with Lemon Butter Sauce – A squeeze of fresh lemon brightens up all the flavors.
- Pair with a Light Salad – A simple arugula or Caesar salad complements the dish perfectly.
- Add a Side of Garlic Bread – Because… carbs make everything better!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Keep the chicken separate from the potatoes and green beans to maintain texture.
Freezing
- Freeze the cooked chicken separately in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
- The potatoes and green beans aren’t ideal for freezing (they may turn mushy).
Reheating
- Oven Method: Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes for the best texture.
- Air Fryer: Heat at 375°F for 5-7 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Microwave: Reheat in 30-second intervals (but the crust won’t stay crispy).
📌 Pro Tip: To restore the crunch, add a sprinkle of fresh parmesan and breadcrumbs before reheating in the oven or air fryer!
