- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F), and the parmesan crust is golden and crispy.
- Once done, remove the sheet from the oven. The chicken should have a crunchy crust and the vegetables nicely roasted with caramelized edges.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the crispy parmesan chicken alongside the roasted vegetables for a complete, flavorful meal.
