Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Look for quality, organic chicken if possible for the best flavor and texture.
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated is best; it melts better and has superior flavor than pre-packaged.
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Choose whole wheat for added fiber or panko for extra crunch.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin for a fruity flavor that pairs beautifully with chicken.
  • 1 pound baby potatoes Halved for quick cooking.
  • 2 cups broccoli florets Fresh is best; frozen will work in a pinch, but adjust cooking times accordingly.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for broccoli)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the baby potatoes onto one half of a large sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat evenly. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
  4. After the potatoes have baked for 15 minutes, take the pan out. Coat each chicken breast in the Parmesan mixture, pressing it onto the chicken to adhere. Place the coated chicken breasts on the other half of the sheet pan. Drizzle the chicken with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  5. Add the broccoli florets to the pan. Drizzle the broccoli with the additional 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking
  1. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  2. Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the delicious Parmesan Crusted Chicken with the roasted baby potatoes and broccoli.

Notes

Ensure your chicken is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking. Always opt for fresh herbs if you can find them. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can prep the chicken and vegetables the night before.
