Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for vegetables)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the chicken and vegetables evenly.
- Prepare Parmesan Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the flavorful coating for the chicken.
- Coat the Chicken: Brush each chicken breast with olive oil to help the coating adhere, then thoroughly coat each piece with the parmesan and breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange on Sheet Pan: Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Around the chicken, spread the broccoli florets and sliced carrots evenly.
- Season Vegetables: Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
- Bake: Bake everything in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and golden brown, and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve the parmesan-crusted chicken hot with the roasted vegetables on the side for a complete meal.
