Why You Will Love This Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner:
- The entire meal is cooked on one dish. Sheet pan meals mean 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 prep. 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 Meal Includes:
- Chicken Breasts tossed in olive oil, parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, minced garlic, salt and pepper for the most flavorful and tender chicken. (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 the following simple ingredients:
- chicken breast: 3-4 pieces. For best results, make sure the chicken breasts are all about the same size and thickness for even cooking when making this sheet pan chicken recipe. 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. You can use baby potatoes and likely cut those in half and be set! Petite baby gold potatoes are great too!
- olive oil: extra-virgin olive oil is our preference
- garlic: for this parmesan crusted chicken, I find fresh garlic cloves over garlic powder gives the best flavor.
- parmesan: grated parmesan cheese 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!
- breadcrumbs: you can use plain or up the flavor with Italian breadcrumbs. To make this a gluten free recipe, just use your favorite gluten free breadcrumbs!
- 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 a large sheet pan and cook for about 15 minutes to give them a head start cooking since they take the most time. You can line your pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier clean up!
- After 15 minutes, shift the potatoes to to 1/3 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. For best results use an instant read meat thermometer. 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
- The biggest thing that will vary cooking time in 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 or pound the meat to about a 1 inch thickness.
- 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 1/2 – 1 teaspoon is great.
Storage and Reheating:
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. I prefer storing each ingredient in a separate container but you can portion out individual meals in a single dish as well!
To freeze, make sure everything is cooled completely. Then transfer to a freezer safe airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Again, you can freeze as individual meals or just as ingredients.
To Reheat, I find that air frying is the very best option so if you have one, definitely use it! Heat for about 4-5 minutes at 350°F for the crispiest potatoes and parmesan crust on the chicken.
You can also bake at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes or just microwave for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, more as needed.
I recommend thawing this frozen sheet pan chicken dinner before reheating for best results!

- 1/2 tsp cracked pepper

Love this recipe. My whole family eats it. I cut my chicken into cubes. Find is bakes better that way and then I can stir it as I add the green beans to crisp up all the sides!
That is actually a really great idea! Thanks for sharing, Meredith!
The whole family enjoyed this (Mom and three very picky teens). Thanks for making me look like a superstar!
Yay! This is what I love to hear! And I have no doubt that you ARE a superstar even without the recipe! xoxo
Ok I was not expecting that! This recipe is way too simple to make to taste that good! This pic is after I tried the green beans and after I dug into the chicken. Chicken was moist and flavorful, potatoes and green beans were on point. Which, btw, I am usually not a fan of. These however are delicious! I used russet potatoes because that’s what I had on hand. For the chicken, I added Italian seasoning like you mentioned, and I think it gave it a good boost of flavor. I smothered my chicken in the mix and pressed it in well to give it a nice coat, and it came out perfect. My family loved it which means it is officially in the rotation! Thank you!
Yes! Family approval is always the best!
So good!!! Definitely adding as favorite in our dinner rotation.
This was delicious and I’ll definitely be making it again. Question, how do you reheat it? I microwaved it but it lost its crispiness. I was afraid to put it in the oven, I didn’t want it to dry out.
Hi! Sorry I saw your comment come through earlier and it has been NUTS today. Do you have an air fryer by chance? That is hands down the best way to reheat it. 350 temp for about 5-6 minutes, more if needed. Gets so crispy! If not, you can bake it at 350 for about 7-9 minutes and broil on high the last minute or so to get it crispy!
Thank you.
This was so delicious! I added some marinara to the chicken when it was almost done cooking to entice my picky toddler and she approved! This will be a new staple recipe in my house!
Love, love LOVE hearing this, Makayla! Toddler approval means everything!
This was absolutely delicious! My whole fam loved it! I used foil instead of parchment to line the sheet, and it prevented a soggy bottom! Yum!
Great tip! And glad the whole family loved it–that seals the deal for me every time!
Wow, it was so good! I honestly didn’t think it would be this good because of how simple and quick it is but the spices and texture were on point!
Yes! I love to hear this! Thank you for sharing!!
How would you recommend making this ahead of time? Once a month I make meals for 4 of my friends (and their familiies) and then deliver them. I can’t deliver them all hot, and I want to give them the flexibility to keep them in fridge or freezer until they are ready for them. Just wondering if I should cook it all or part of it?
This is a great question. I honestly think cooking everything and then allowing them to reheat if needed may be your best bet. Reheating in the air fryer is one favorite way we have for extra crispness!! You could just do the potatoes and chicken and allow them to cook the green beans as well, that could work. Hope this helps!
do the green beans come out soft or are they a little crunchy? trying to gauge if my 13 month old will be able to eat them.
Hi! They are pretty soft. They can get crispy if you leave them in too long and I even pull them out a bit early sometimes so they aren’t too soft. Hope that helps!
