Step-by-Step Directions

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or give it a quick spray of cooking oil.
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for the potatoes; toss well to coat.
Spread the potatoes on one-third of the pan and bake for about 10-15 minutes. (For extra browning, opt for the full 15.)
While the potatoes are cooking, season the chicken by mixing all its ingredients in the same bowl.
After 10-15 minutes, add the chicken to the pan with potatoes.
In the same bowl, toss the green beans with their ingredients and add them to the pan.
Bake everything together for about 25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. For a crispy finish on the potatoes, turn the oven to broil for an additional 4-5 minutes.
Let cool for a few minutes, then dig in and enjoy!

Perfect Pairings for Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

This sheet pan dinner is versatile and delicious on its own, but you can always elevate your dining experience.

Don’t skimp on the resting time after baking — allowing it to cool slightly enhances the flavors.
