Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Vegetables and Seasoning:
- 3 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers)
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper and heating the oven to a robust 400°F, creating an ideal roasting environment.
- Craft a crispy coating by blending grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, aromatic garlic powder, zesty Italian seasoning, and smoky paprika in a shallow mixing vessel.
- Transform the chicken breasts into a delectable dish by first submerging each piece in whisked eggs, ensuring complete egg coverage.
- Generously enrobe the egg-drenched chicken with the seasoned Parmesan mixture, pressing firmly to create a substantial, adherent crust that will crisp beautifully during roasting.
- Strategically arrange the chicken on one section of the prepared sheet pan, creating space for accompanying vegetables.
- Massage mixed vegetables with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper, distributing them across the remaining pan area to roast simultaneously with the chicken.
- Position the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 25-30 minutes, rotating vegetables midway to ensure even caramelization and consistent cooking.
- Verify chicken doneness by confirming an internal temperature of 165°F, guaranteeing both safety and succulence.
- Present the golden-crusted chicken and roasted vegetables immediately, accompanied by a complementary dipping sauce or fresh salad for a complete, mouthwatering meal.
Notes
- Ensure even coating by patting chicken dry before dipping to help the Parmesan mixture stick perfectly.
- Customize the seasoning blend by adjusting spices or adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor depth.
- For a gluten-free version, swap panko breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs to maintain crispy texture.
- Prevent vegetable overcooking by cutting them into similar-sized pieces for uniform roasting and consistent doneness.
