How are you? Tell me about your life.  Have you tried sheet pan dinners? This was my first time doing it.  If you have done the sheet pan dinner thing, tell me what you’ve made! I want your ideas!

I’m a fan of the sheet pan dinner thingamajigs because I’d much rather watch The Mindy Project than have to spend time doing dishes.  Sheet pan dinner = 1 dirty dish.  Okay. Wait.  Not true.  For this one you will also need a shallow bowl to whisk an egg.  So 2 dirty dishes.  And then the plates you eat on.  So 4 dirty dishes is there are two of you.  BUT if you live alone then you will only have 3 dirty dishes..YOU WIN!

I liked this recipe a bunch because you coat the chicken in parmesan + breadcrumbs right on the sheet pan.  No need to dirty another dish because everything is going straight into the oven and any raw-chicken-ness will disappear.  Beautiful. 

Once the chicken is coated, you simply scoop any remaining parmesan + breadcrumbs off the baking sheet.

  1. I like your cooking style. Adding it into the rotation next week. Seeing those potatoes made me think of this recipe, also cooked on a sheet. You’ll never want potatoes another way.

  2. I learned the art of the sheet pan dinner from my mama and I’m still loving them now :) I can’t wait to try this one out for my fiance this week. Serve that man anything with chicken and potatoes and he is a happy boy – fiance points = winning!

  3. Gurl, I got a recipe for you!! Place a chicken breast, frozen broccoli florets, a few slices of onion, drizzle of ranch, cheese, s&p, and paprika on a piece of foil and fold into a packet. Repeat with however many chicken breast you have. Then bake in the oven at 375 for 30-40 minutes (until chicken is cooked). Super easy and delicious!!

  4. This was amazing! My husband and I made this for dinner last night and the parmesan chicken was just perfect! Not to mention- one dish to wash? Perfect. Thanks for this!
