Parmesan Chicken Oven Vegetables (Printer-Friendly)

Juicy chicken coated in parmesan, baked golden with vegetables for a vibrant, satisfying meal.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.3 pounds)
02 - 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
03 - 0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 3 cups mixed vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots (approximately 14 ounces total), chopped
06 - 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Set oven to 400°F and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking.
02 - Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
03 - In a large bowl, thoroughly combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
04 - Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure a uniform coating.
05 - In a separate bowl, toss the chopped mixed vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
06 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place breaded chicken breasts in a single layer. Arrange tossed vegetables around the chicken. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken.
07 - Bake on the middle rack for 25–28 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the breading is golden. Vegetables should be tender and lightly caramelized.
08 - Allow the dish to rest for 2–3 minutes before serving. Slice chicken if desired and portion with roasted vegetables.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - For even browning, avoid crowding the baking sheet and use parchment for easy cleanup.
02 - A meat thermometer ensures the chicken is cooked safely and remains juicy.
