# Ingredients Needed:
→ Chicken
01 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.3 pounds)
→ Breading
02 -
1 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
03 -
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
04 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
→ Vegetables
05 -
14 ounces mixed fresh vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, carrots), cut into bite-size pieces
→ Other
06 -
3 tablespoons olive oil
07 -
Salt to taste
08 -
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with both top and bottom heat, ensuring even roasting.
02 -
Rinse chicken breasts under cold water, pat completely dry with paper towels, and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
03 -
Combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl, mixing thoroughly.
04 -
Press each chicken breast firmly into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, coating evenly and ensuring the breading adheres on all sides.
05 -
In a separate bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
06 -
Place the breaded chicken breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange seasoned vegetables around the chicken in a single layer.
07 -
Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the breaded chicken to enhance crispiness.
08 -
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and vegetables are tender.
09 -
Let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately with roasted vegetables.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Patting the chicken dry before breading ensures a crisp coating. Letting the chicken rest after baking allows juices to redistribute.
