I love love LOVE sheet pan dinners. They are my favorite way to get a whole meal into the fam--well aside from delivery of course.
In my dreams, I have someone who stays in my kitchen and does my dishes for me all day long. Cleans up the kitchen immediately following my every move. But until that happens, this Parmesan Crusted Chicken Dinner will be one of my favorite go-to meals.
Why You Will Love This Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner:
- The entire meal is cooked on one dish. One pan means a lot less mess to clean up in the end. You can also use one bowl to toss each part together as well. Whoever is in charge of dishes will be happy with this dinner because clean up will be a pice of cake.
- Two words: parmesan cheese. Parmesan is included in every part of this chicken sheet pan dinner. Toss it with the potatoes, the chicken and the green beans. Parmesan lovers will be obsessed with each and every bite.
- Great for meal prepping. If you like being able to prep your weekly meals in advance, this parmesan chicken sheet pan dinner is a perfect option. You can whip it up and then portion it out into single meals. Then you can grab a meal on the go or have dinner ready when you are in the week.
This Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner includes:
- Chicken Breasts tossed in olive oil, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, minced garlic, salt and pepper. (YUM.)
- Quartered Red Potatoes also tossed in garlic, parmesan, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Fresh Green Beans--tossed in garlic, salt and pepper--and if you are like me, more parmesan. However, I get that for some, that may be a bit much, so extra parm on the green beans is optional.
Ingredients and Substitutions:
To make this parmesan crusted chicken dinner, you will need:
- chicken breast: 3-4 pieces. For best results, make sure the chicken breasts are all about the same size and thickness for even cooking. You can pound the chicken to help even them out.
- green beans: fresh green beans, not frozen or canned. You can sub for another vegetable fairly easily. Many readers have used broccoli in place of the green beans with no shift in cook time.
- red potatoes: we prefer red potatoes. Another potato cut into bite sized pieces can work as well.
- olive oil: extra virgin olive oil is ideal
- garlic: for this parmesan crusted chicken, I find fresh garlic over powder gives the best flavor.
- parmesan: grated is my preference as it adheres to the chicken and ingredients better than shaved or shredded. Shredded does work as well though. Freshly grated is AMAZING if you have the extra time!
- salt and pepper: adjust to your own taste. You can half the amount and then add after cooking to your liking.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
This parmesan crusted chicken sheet pan dinner is very simple to make, it's just a matter of timing really.
- Start out by preheating the oven. Toss the potato ingredients together--you can do this right on the sheet pan if desired. Spread evenly on sheet pan and cook for about 15 minutes to give them a head start cooking since they take the most time.
- After 15 minutes, shift the potatoes to to ⅓ of the pan. Toss the chicken ingredients together in a bowl and line them beside the potatoes. Place in the oven.
- Toss the green bean ingredients together and then add them to the last third of the sheet pan.
- Bake for about another 25 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. If the green beans seem to be cooking too fast, you can remove them early. For extra crispy potatoes, broil on high an extra 3-4 minutes after everything else is cooked.
- When the dinner is cooked, allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes and then serve. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips and Notes:
- The biggest thing that will vary this recipe for most of us will be the thickness and size of your chicken breasts. While the going time for a chicken breast at 425°F is about 25 minutes, not all pieces of chicken are created equal. If your chicken seems super large or thick, plan for some extra time.
- Salt and pepper is really however you prefer. I always season my chicken with a decent amount of pepper and a pinch of salt or so. You don't have to go all in from the get go, feel free to add in more at the end!
- The bottom of the chicken is not as crispy as the top will get. You can use a rack on your sheet pan to allow any moisture to fall below versus staying on the chicken.
- You can add other herbs or seasoning to the dish. I like to toss in some Italian seasoning or even just some oregano to the chicken and potatoes sometimes. About ½ - 1 teaspoon is great.

- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ⅓ c grated parmesan
- ⅓ c breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon cracked pepper
- ½ - ¾ teaspoon sea salt

For the Green Beans:
- 1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed

- Line a sheet pan with parchment for easier cleaning or spray with cooking oil. In a medium bowl, toss all ingredients for potatoes together and stir well to evenly coat. Spread the potatoes on ⅓ of the pan and place in oven for about 10-15 minutes. (if you like your potatoes nice and browned, go with the extra five minutes.)

Thank you and happy new year!

So wonderful to hear, Susan!! Thanks for sharing!
Billie says
Loved this for my picky eater! I added in smoked paprika with the chicken it just adds some extra flavour and is my favourite thing in any recipe with Parmesan!
Lorie says
Smoked paprika is my FAVORITE. Excellent idea! And winning when we get the picky eater to love something!
Joan C. says
Can I use boneless skinless chicken thighs instead? What would the temp be?
Lorie says
Hi! It should work just fine! May take a bit more time but that is it!
Susan says
This was a hit for my picky eater. Thank you!

This was sooo good! I have been in such a cooking funk lately and this is just what I needed. Recipe was super easy to follow and perfect as is. Presentation was really beautiful. I felt so fancy pulling it out of the oven. Ha ha and it tasted delicious! Will make this again for sure.
Lorie says
Yay!!! This makes me so happy. It’s been a hit in our home for YEARS. Glad you loved it too!
Laura E says
Made this for dinner tonight and it was great! Will make again. It didn’t quite fit on one pan, and I had to use two- but I might’ve had too many potatoes.
Lorie says
So happy you loved it! 2 pans is a great option so the potatoes can spread a bit more and get extra crispy. Thanks Laura!
Linda says
This recipe is a keeper! Will definitely make it again. The chicken and veggies were so flavorful. I added cranberry sauce as a side. Thanks 😊
Lorie says
Oh I love the addition of the cranberry sauce! So glad it was a hit for you!
Crissy says
This was delicious, we loved the seasoning! I couldn't fit any green beans on my sheet pan so I made peas instead! What a great dinner!
Lorie says
So happy to hear this, Crissy! This is a family favorite for us. And peas are my favorite veggie so works for me!
