This Italian chicken is coated in a crispy parmesan crust and baked to perfection along with potatoes. An easy sheet pan dinner that the whole family will love!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Dip the top of each chicken breast into the melted butter, then press the top of the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared sheet pan.
Scatter the potatoes around the chicken. Drizzle the remaining butter over the potatoes and chicken. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender. Cook time may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
Choose chicken breasts that are similar in size and shape so that they cook at the same rate. This recipe assumes you are using 4-6 ounce breasts.
This recipe has a short ingredient, which means quality really matters for the best flavor. I recommend using freshly grated parmesan cheese as it tastes so much better than the shelf stable kind in a can.
I typically use baby Yukon Gold potatoes in this dish, but other types of potatoes will also work just fine.
