How to Make Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner
1. Preheat and Prep
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Breading
- In a bowl, mix Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
3. Bread the Chicken
- Dip each chicken piece into the egg, then coat in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture.
- Place on one side of the sheet pan. Optional: drizzle or brush with olive oil for extra crispiness.
4. Add the Vegetables
- Toss your veggies with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them out on the other half of the pan, leaving some space for even roasting.
5. Bake
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping veggies halfway.
- Chicken should be golden, crispy, and reach an internal temp of 165°F (74°C).
- Optional: broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crunch.
Variations & Add-Ons
- Low-carb: Use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs
- Spicy version: Add chili flakes or cayenne to the breading
- Herb lovers: Add fresh parsley, thyme, or rosemary
- Swap veggies: Use brussels sprouts, mushrooms, carrots, or whatever’s in season
Tips for Success
- Pound chicken evenly so it cooks uniformly
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—use 2 pans if needed
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and crisp
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving for juicier chicken
What to Serve With It
