Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts preferably evenly sized for uniform cooking
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated if possible
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, carrots) cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs optional but adds flavor

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the chicken breasts on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub to coat evenly.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese with the dried Italian herbs. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, pressing gently to adhere and form a crust.

  3. Toss the chopped vegetables with the remaining olive oil and minced garlic until well coated. Spread them around the chicken on the baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer.

  4. 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.
  5. Once done, remove the sheet from the oven. The chicken should have a crunchy crust and the vegetables nicely roasted with caramelized edges.
  6. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the crispy parmesan chicken alongside the roasted vegetables for a complete, flavorful meal.
