🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Parmesan Breading Mixture
Firstly, in making our Sheet Pan Parmesan Chicken we want to go ahead and prepare our parmesan breading mixture. When making any kind of breading I like to do it in a disposable ziplock bag. (This makes for such an easy cleanup!)
Then to prepare the breading, combine the grated parmesan, pepper, salt and flour in a large Ziploc. Kneading the bag, combine your mixture making sure to break up any parmesan clumps are broken up.
Once your mixture is ready, set it aside and prepare your baking dish. I like to make sure I put down a silicone baking mat in my dish before adding any ingredients. This helps keep the veggies from sticking and makes clean up a breeze!
Vegetables
Once the pan is ready, it is time to prepare the vegetables and potatoes. Do this by first washing your produce. Afterwards chop your potatoes. When preparing my potatoes I like to be sure to cut them a little on the smaller side - this way they cook a little faster.
Once prepped add your chopped potatoes to the 9x13 baking dish or sheet pan. Then layer in your onion and carrots. Be sure to have veggies evenly dispersed across the dish.
Then using about a fourth of the parmesan breading mixture, lightly coat the vegetables by sprinkling over the top. Using your hands or a large spoon mix up the vegetables to evenly distribute and coat your veggies in the mixture.
Breading the Chicken
Once done, set the veggies aside and crack three eggs into a mixing container. You want to lightly whisk the eggs until they become a lemon color. Once done it is time to dredge your chicken to prepare it for breading.
Do this by dipping each piece of trimmed chicken breast into the egg mixture to coat it. Once coated add the chicken to your ziplock bag of breading. Repeat this till all the chicken is coated with egg and in your breading bag.
Seal the breading bag and and shake vigorously to be certain chicken is breaded completely. When satisfied remove each piece of parmesan crusted chicken and lay on top of your prepared pan of veggies.
Seasoning and Bake
Drizzle melted butter over the top of the chicken and vegetables. When done squeeze lemon juice from one whole lemon over your chicken and vegetables.
Season with any remaining salt and pepper desired and place pan in the oven to bake. Allow to bake for one hour. Chicken should be a golden brown and have reached an internal temperature of 285* remove pan from the oven.
You may find that your chicken is done before your vegetables are. For me, the chicken was done at around 50 minutes. To avoid overcooking and drying out my chicken I removed it from the dish, placing it on a on a plate and covering with tin foil to conserve the heat.
I then placed the vegetables back in the oven covered with tin foil to allow it to continue baking for an additional 20 to 30 minutes. This will also allow you to reach a softer more tender cook on your veggies if you prefer them softer like I do.
