Description

This Sheet Pan Garlic and Parmesan Chicken and Broccoli meal combines boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced potatoes and broccoli, roasted in a delicious garlic parmesan butter sauce. Crowd-pleasing flavors, 30-minute cook time and easy cleanup make it a winner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
  • 2 teaspoons each salt & pepper 
  • 1.5 pounds yellow potatoes, diced
  • 1 medium red onion, peeled and diced
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (or a mix of other fresh vegetables)
  • Garnishes: 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line two half-sheet size rimmed baking sheets what parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine butter, olive oil, garlic, parmesan, thyme and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  3. Spread potatoes and onions on one baking sheet and drizzle with about one third of the sauce mixture. Toss until potatoes and onions are evenly coated then place sheet pan in preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. 
  4. Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken breasts with remaining teaspoon of salt and pepper and arrange on the center of the second baking sheet. Arrange broccoli florets around chicken breasts and drizzle remaining butter mixture evenly over all. 
  5. After ten minutes, toss potatoes on baking sheet and return pan to oven on the lower rack. Add second pan with chicken and broccoli on the top rack. Continue roasting for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until chicken breasts reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and vegetables are golden. 
  6. Remove pans from oven and allow chicken breasts to rest for 8 minutes before slicing. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh parsley and a squirt of lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Spreading the ingredients between two sheet pans allows for more even browning and gives you more control over cook time.
