A Quick and Tasty Dinner: Crispy Parmesan Garlic Chicken on a Sheet Pan
Looking for a simple yet delicious meal? Look no further – this Crispy Parmesan Garlic Chicken is just the thing. It’s a full dinner made on a single sheet pan, which makes it super easy to prepare and leaves you with just one dish to clean. Perfect, right?
I’m a big fan of sheet pan meals. They’re straightforward, versatile, and there are so many options, allowing you to mix things up based on your mood or what you have in your pantry. Some of my other favorites include Sausage and Veggies, Crispy Cheddar Pork Chops, and Cashew Chicken, all cooked on a single sheet pan.
The chicken in this recipe is crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and absolutely scrumptious! The secret? Dipping the chicken in eggs and seasoned breadcrumbs. This process not only infuses the chicken with fantastic flavor but also gives it that golden, crispy outer edge that we all love.
To make this meal complete, we add some potatoes and a green veggie. I usually go for asparagus, but feel free to choose your favorite. Trust me – once you try this, you’ll want to include it in your regular dinner rotation!
The Recipe
This recipe is pretty straightforward and uses common ingredients. Here’s what you need:
- Chicken breasts: These are the star of the dish. Make sure you get juicy, tender ones.
- Salt and pepper: These basic seasonings bring out the flavors of the chicken and veggies.
- Eggs and milk: These are used for the egg wash.
- Panko breadcrumbs: These Japanese-style breadcrumbs make the chicken extra crispy.
- Parmesan cheese: This adds a nice, savory touch to the breadcrumb coating.
- Italian seasoning and garlic powder: These seasonings give the chicken a delightful flavor.
- Baby potatoes: These little guys are roasted to perfection and make a hearty side dish.
- Asparagus: These add a crisp, earthy taste that pairs well with the chicken.
- Olive oil: This helps the potatoes and asparagus roast evenly.
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare your sheet pan.
- Set up two shallow dishes: one with whisked egg and milk, and the other with the combination of panko, parmesan cheese, seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then dip it in the egg mixture and coat it with the panko mixture. Lay the chicken on your sheet pan.
- Toss the asparagus and potatoes with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then lay the potatoes next to the chicken on the sheet pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the chicken, add the asparagus, and bake for another 12-15 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.
Alternative Cooking Methods
You can also cook this chicken in a skillet or an air fryer if you like. For the skillet, just add oil and cook the chicken until it’s crispy and cooked through. For the air fryer, cook at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for about 12 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through.
Storing and Reheating
This meal also makes great leftovers! Just cool down the chicken and potatoes, store them in an airtight container, and put them in your fridge. They should be good for 2-3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, place the leftovers in a baking dish with a little water, cover with foil, and cook until they reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
So there you have it – a delicious, easy-to-make meal that’s perfect for any day of the week. Enjoy!
