Sheet Pan Lemon Parmesan Garlic Chicken & Veggies

Ingredients

For The Chicken:

1 large egg
2 tablespoons lemon juice (or juice of 1/2 a lemon)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper , to season
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
4 skinless , boneless chicken breasts (or thighs)

 

For The Veggies:

8-10 (1 pound | 500 g) baby potatoes, quartered
1/2 cup butter , melted
2 teaspoons minced garlic
salt to taste
1 pound | 500 g green beans , cut into thirds

 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking tray / sheet with cooking oil spray, or a light coating of oil. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
3. Dip chicken into egg mixture, cover and allow to marinade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour, if time allows. The chicken is more flavorful when marinated, but if you don't have time, to marinate, still make it!
4. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the parmesan cheese.
5. Dredge the egg coated chicken in the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture, lightly pressing to evenly coat.
6. Place chicken onto the baking sheet / tray and lightly spray with cooking oil spray. Arrange the potatoes around the chicken in a single layer. Mix together the butter, 2 teaspoons garlic and salt to taste, and pour half of the butter mixture over the potatoes. Toss to evenly coat.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
8. Remove baking tray from the oven and carefully flip each chicken breast. Move the potatoes to one side and place the green beans around the chicken on the other side of the baking sheet. Pour over the remaining garlic butter and return to the oven to broil (or grill) on medium-high heat for a further 10 minutes, or until chicken is golden and crisp, and potatoes are cooked through.
9. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley (optional), and serve immediately.

Notes: This was really enjoyable. My kids love the roasted veggies and the chicken went over well. I enjoyed having everything cooked on one pan. I will make this again, and will probably look for more sheet pan dinners to make.
