Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken
- 1 1/2 lb chicken breast (about 3–4 pieces), approx. 1 inch thick
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (Italian or plain; add 1 tsp Italian seasoning if using plain breadcrumbs)
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/2 – 3/4 tsp sea salt
For the Potatoes
- 2 lb red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces (quartered if small; cut into 6ths or 8ths if larger)
- 1–2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the 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 (220°C) to prepare for roasting the ingredients evenly on the sheet pan.
- Prepare and Roast Potatoes: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray it lightly with cooking oil for easier cleanup. In a medium bowl, toss the cut red potatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the potatoes evenly on one-third of the sheet pan and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, depending on how browned and crispy you prefer them.
- Prepare Chicken: While the potatoes are roasting, use the same bowl to mix the chicken breasts with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, cracked pepper, and sea salt. Coat each piece thoroughly with the mixture.
- Add Chicken and Green Beans: Remove the sheet pan from the oven when the potatoes are partially cooked. Place the coated chicken breasts on another third of the pan. In the same bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan (if using), salt, and pepper. Spread the green beans on the remaining section of the pan.
- Continue Baking: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through. This allows the chicken to crisp while the green beans roast perfectly alongside.
- Optional Broil for Extra Crispiness: For extra crispy potatoes and chicken crust, switch the oven to broil on high and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the meal rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Parmesan crusted chicken with roasted potatoes and green beans!
Notes
- Use parchment paper to make cleanup easier and help prevent sticking.
- If you prefer, add 1 tsp Italian seasoning to plain breadcrumbs for extra flavor in the chicken crust.
- Adjust roasting time for potatoes based on their size and your preferred level of crispiness.
- For gluten-free variations, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives or crushed nuts.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- The Parmesan on green beans is optional but adds a lovely nutty flavor.
