Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetables
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1 bunch asparagus
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a sheet pan by spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the dredging stations: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Coat the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dip each breast first into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the panko and parmesan mixture. Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared sheet pan.
- Prepare the vegetables: In two medium bowls, place the halved baby potatoes and the asparagus. Season both with salt and pepper, then toss with olive oil. Arrange the potatoes on the sheet pan next to the chicken.
- Baking part 1: Bake the chicken and potatoes for 15 minutes at 425°F. This initial baking helps achieve a crispy crust on the chicken and starts cooking the potatoes.
- Flip and add asparagus: Flip the chicken breasts over to cook evenly. Add the asparagus to the sheet pan alongside the chicken and potatoes.
- Baking part 2: Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest briefly before serving your crispy parmesan garlic chicken with roasted potatoes and asparagus.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to guarantee it is fully cooked.
- You can swap asparagus for other vegetables like green beans or broccoli if preferred.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Adjust seasoning amounts to your taste preference.
