Description

A lighter take on classic chicken parmesan, roasted with seasoned vegetables for a satisfying weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb chicken breast
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for the chicken topping)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (for the chicken topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (for the chicken)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (for the chicken)
  • 2 lbs red potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (for the potatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for the potatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (for the potatoes)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste (for the potatoes)
  • 1 lb green beans, ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan (for the beans)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for the beans)
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (for the beans)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste (for the beans)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet.
  2. Toss potato halves with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, salt, and pepper; spread on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast potatoes for about 10–15 minutes until brown.
  4. Combine Parmesan, breadcrumbs, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl; press onto chicken breasts.
  5. Move potatoes to make room, add chicken to the baking sheet.
  6. Prepare green beans and add to the sheet pan.
  7. Bake for roughly 25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and green beans are tender.
  8. Optionally broil for 4–5 minutes for extra crunch.
  9. Let rest before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs. To make gluten-free, use GF breadcrumbs; for dairy-free, substitute nutritional yeast for Parmesan.
