Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Vegetables
- 4 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and vegetables.
- Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to help the seasoning stick better and achieve a crispy crust.
- Season Chicken: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken breasts. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 teaspoons garlic powder for a well-rounded flavor.
- Coat with Parmesan: In a bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese with additional garlic powder if desired. Press this mixture firmly onto each chicken breast, creating a thick, even crust.
- Prepare Vegetables: Chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces and arrange them around the chicken breasts on a large sheet pan. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil to promote roasting and enhance flavor.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the Parmesan crust is golden brown.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked through for food safety.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on seasonality or preference.
- For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Leftover chicken can be refrigerated and used in salads or sandwiches.
