how to make Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb chicken breast (about 3-4 pieces) (approx. 1 inch thick)
2 T olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 c grated parmesan
1/3 c breadcrumbs (Italian or plain—can add 1 tsp Italian seasoning to plain breadcrumbs!)
1/2 tsp cracked pepper
1/2 – 3/4 tsp sea salt
2 lb red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces (if small, quartered; larger potatoes will be cut into 6ths or 8ths)
1 – 2 garlic cloves, minced
2 T olive oil
2 T grated parmesan
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
1 T olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 T parmesan (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleaning or spray with cooking oil.
In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, and seasonings until well coated. Spread them on one-third of the pan.
Bake the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes. If you prefer them browned, add an extra five minutes.
While the potatoes are baking, combine all chicken ingredients in the same bowl and mix well to coat the chicken.
Remove the pan with the potatoes from the oven and add the chicken on another third of the pan.
Toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic, and seasonings in the same or another bowl and add them to the pan.
Bake everything for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. For extra crispy potatoes, turn the oven to broil on high for an additional 4-5 minutes if desired.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
