Ingredients:
For the Chicken
- 4 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts; pounded thin
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 3/4 cups breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
For the Vegetables
- 1 pound small baby red potatoes
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Whisk together the egg, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large baking dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken making sure the chicken is completely covered. Cover and place the baking dish in the refrigerator for the chicken to marinade for at least an hour.
Prepare the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese mixture.
Then slowly add each piece of chicken to the mixture and dredge completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Red Potatoes
Place the butter in a microwave safe bowl and melt the butter in the microwave and then add the garlic, salt and pepper.
If you find a few of the baby red potatoes are too big, you can cut them in half like I did with a few.
Toss the potatoes with about 3/4 of the butter mixture and make sure they’re coated completely.
Step 3: Bake the Chicken and Potatoes
Add the chicken and then the potatoes on top of the prepared sheet pan. Bake in a 400 degree preheated oven for about 15 minutes.
Take the sheet pan out of the oven and flip the chicken. Return the chicken and potatoes to the oven to cook for an additional 10 to 12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Step 4: Roast the Asparagus
For tonight’s meal plan, I roasted asparagus to serve on the side. You could also add the asparagus to the sheet pan with the chicken and potatoes. But I didn’t have room, so I used a separate pan.
Toss the asparagus with the remaining melted butter mixture and then add the asparagus to the sheet pan.
You could also serve salad on the side with this sheet pan chicken and potatoes recipe. Here are a few favorites:
- German Cucumber Salad
- A simple tossed salad on the side with my homemade Italian salad dressing recipe.
Tips for Making Sheet Pan Recipes
- Make sure you add the softer vegetables in stages, like I did with the asparagus. Add them about halfway through the cooking.
- At halfway through the cooking, you should always flip the protein to ensure even cooking.
- For the most part you can cook everything on one pan, but sometimes two pans is better.

This looks awesome. I am definitely making this.
Can you use frozen chicken breast? This looks delicious
I sent you a personal email regarding this question Desiree. You can use frozen chicken breast, but just be careful the veggies don’t overcook. I would cook the chicken separately for awhile and then add the veggies. I have never tried this recipe using frozen chicken breasts, so let me know how it turns out! Thanks for visiting.
Love the idea of everything in one pan. I pounded the chicken breasts as they were very thick, probably wasn’t a very good idea, my husband felt to dry, the potatoes were wonderful and I put asparagus on its own foil. If I make again, I will bake the chicken on a rack on the pan and still place potatoes around rack. Why, because that wonderful coating is soggy and would probably crisp/brown up better and one wouldn’t have to turn it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful quick recipe.
I’m guessing the chicken you pounded was too thin and cooked too fast which is why it dried out. Let me know if using the baking rack helps you. Ours didn’t come out soggy at all. Thanks for visiting!
This sounds absolutely delicious! Pinned.
Thank you Joanne!
This looks delicious. I’m always looking for new chicken recipes. I’m definitely going to try this one. I have never had baked asparagus and I’m looking forward to trying it.
We love sheet pan dinners – easy prep and easy clean up! This looks delicious. Thanks for the tips too!
Ohhh that chicken and those potatoes look so crispy and delicious!
That looks like an amazing meal. One pan is always awesome, but everything looks cooked to perfection!
What a great weeknight dinner! We do love our chicken and we like to find different variations on how to serve it. Easy cleanup is a big bonus. We’ll be making this recipe this coming week. It looks so tasty especially with the lemon, garlic, and parmesan. YUM!!
I love this amazing and delicious platter. I want to have it all.
This looks like a great dinner for any busy weeknight. It can cook while you get lunches ready for tomorrow. I know my family would enjoy this. Chicken is always a hit. Less cleanup means more time to yourself at night too.
