Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
Other Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken to help keep it moist during baking.
- Season Chicken: Evenly sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the chicken breasts to infuse them with rich flavors.
- Add Vegetables: Arrange the halved baby potatoes, broccoli florets, and sliced red bell pepper around the chicken on the sheet pan.
- Toss Vegetables with Oil and Garlic: Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables and minced garlic. Toss gently to coat everything evenly for roasting.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over both the chicken and the vegetables to add a savory, crispy topping once baked.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption and that vegetables are tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm for a comforting and balanced meal.
Notes
- For even cooking, use chicken breasts of similar thickness or pound thicker breasts to an even thickness before baking.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to guarantee it is cooked safely.
- Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables like carrots or zucchini based on preference.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
