Description

A delicious and easy sheet pan dinner featuring juicy chicken with a crispy Parmesan crust, roasted baby potatoes, and vibrant broccoli.


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 for vegetables
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder for vegetables
  • ¾ teaspoon salt for vegetables
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper for vegetables


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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 the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 15 minutes.
  4. Combine in a shallow dish panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Pat the chicken breasts dry and whisk together olive oil and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the chicken breasts.
  6. Dredge each mustard-coated chicken breast in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing firmly to coat.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven after 15 minutes. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
  8. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan, place the coated chicken in the center, and arrange the broccoli on the other side. Drizzle melted butter over the chicken.
  9. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender.
  10. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Monitor the internal temperature of the chicken for perfect cooking. Experiment with different vegetables for variation.
