Creating your Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano for added flavor.
3. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Mix well.
4. Coat the Chicken: Dip each seasoned chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating. Place the coated chicken on the prepared sheet pan.
5. Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss the broccoli, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Arrange the Vegetables: Spread the vegetables around the chicken on the same sheet pan. Ensure everything has enough space to roast evenly.
7. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables are tender.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
These straightforward steps make preparing a delicious and visually appealing meal a breeze!
