Description
A flavorful Parmesan-crusted chicken dinner that combines juicy chicken with crispy vegetables, all cooked on one pan for easy cleanup.
Ingredients
- 4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.5 lbs / 680g)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large head of broccoli florets (about 1 lb / 450g)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Toss the chopped baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ¾ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on one side of a prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 15 minutes.
- Prepare the chicken by combining the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper in a shallow dish.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry, then whisk together the olive oil and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over all sides of the chicken breasts.
- Dredge each mustard-coated chicken breast in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing firmly to achieve a thick coating.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven after 15 minutes of roasting the potatoes. Toss the broccoli florets with a drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper in the same bowl used for the potatoes.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in the center of the baking sheet, and lay the seasoned broccoli on the other side. Drizzle melted butter over the tops of the chicken breasts.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
- Optional: Set the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Let the chicken rest on the pan for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For added variation, consider substituting seasonal vegetables like carrots or bell peppers.
