Tender chicken breasts are coated with a flavorful Parmesan crust and roasted alongside crispy potatoes and fresh green beans. It’s a simple, satisfying dish that requires minimal cleanup.

A large gold baking sheet holds a meal with three main parts arranged in horizontal layers: at the top are small chopped red potatoes with crispy browned edges and bits of green herbs, in the middle are three golden breaded chicken breasts with browned, crumbly crust and green herb specks, and the bottom layer has a neat row of bright green cooked green beans with some shine from oil or butter. The baking sheet sits on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb chicken breast (about 3-4 pieces, approx. 1 inch thick)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup grated Parmesan

1/3 cup breadcrumbs (Italian or plain; add 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning if plain)

1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper

1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon sea salt

2 lb red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces (quarter small potatoes, cut larger ones into 6ths or 8ths)

1-2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Salt and pepper to taste

1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon Parmesan (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleaning or lightly spray it with cooking oil.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with 1-2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the potatoes on one-third of the sheet pan and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes. For browner potatoes, roast for the full 15 minutes.

Step 3: While the potatoes cook, combine chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/3 cup grated Parmesan, 1/3 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper, and 1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon sea salt in the bowl. Coat the chicken evenly.

Step 4: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the coated chicken to the pan, arranging it next to the potatoes. Meanwhile, toss the green beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon Parmesan (optional), and salt and pepper to taste. Add the green beans to the remaining space on the sheet pan.

Step 5: 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).

Step 6: For extra crispy potatoes and chicken crust, switch the oven to broil on high for 4-5 minutes at the end of baking if desired. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 7: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the chicken rest a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful, easy sheet pan dinner!

Tips & Variations

Use Italian seasoning in the breadcrumbs for extra herb flavor if you only have plain breadcrumbs on hand.

Swap red potatoes for Yukon Gold or baby potatoes for a different texture.

To mix up the veggies, substitute green beans with asparagus or broccoli florets.

For a dairy-free version, omit the Parmesan and use extra breadcrumbs with herbs and a bit of nutritional yeast.

Make sure chicken pieces are similar in thickness for even cooking.

FAQs

Can I use frozen green beans for this recipe?

Yes, frozen green beans can be used. Thaw and pat them dry before tossing with oil and seasonings to prevent excess moisture on the sheet pan.

What can I serve with this Parmesan crusted chicken?

This dish is complete on its own with the potatoes and green beans, but a light salad or crusty bread pairs well if you want to add something extra.
