Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, half the garlic, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Spread on one side of the baking sheet.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika if using.
- Press Parmesan onto both sides of the chicken to form a crust.
- Place chicken on the other side of the baking sheet and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through, until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
- Serve with lemon wedges for added brightness.
Notes
- Pat chicken dry for a crispier Parmesan crust.
- Add red onions or carrots with Brussels sprouts for more variety.
- Toss sprouts in balsamic vinegar before roasting for a tangy twist.
- Use dairy-free Parmesan or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version.
- Works great for meal prep and reheats well in the oven or air fryer.
