A quick and easy one-pan meal featuring crispy Parmesan-crusted chicken breasts roasted alongside broccoli and cherry tomatoes. Perfect for busy weeknights, this recipe delivers a golden, savory crust with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Set up your breading station: In the first shallow bowl, add the flour. In the second, beat the eggs. In the third, combine the panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If uneven, pound to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  4. Working one piece at a time, dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into beaten eggs, letting excess drip off. Press firmly into the panko-Parmesan mixture, coating both sides. Place on the prepared sheet pan.
  5. In a medium bowl, toss broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt. Arrange them around the chicken on the sheet pan in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown. For extra browning, broil for the last 2 minutes.
  7. Let the chicken rest on the pan for 5 minutes before serving. Serve alongside the roasted vegetables.

Notes

For best results, use freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Pat chicken dry to ensure crispy crust. Do not overcrowd the pan. Let chicken rest before slicing. Reheat leftovers in oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
