Parmesan Chicken & Brussels Sprouts is a crispy, cheesy one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken coated in savory Parmesan breadcrumbs and roasted Brussels sprouts. It’s a wholesome and flavorful dish perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: lemon wedges and chopped parsley for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a small bowl, mix Parmesan, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pat the chicken dry and brush both sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Press into the Parmesan mixture to coat evenly. Set aside.
  4. In a bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with remaining olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread Brussels sprouts on one side of the baking sheet, cut side down. Place the coated chicken on the other side.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through, until the chicken is golden and cooked through (165°F or 74°C) and sprouts are crisp-tender.
  7. Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges and chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes or cayenne to breadcrumb mixture for heat.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed pork rinds for GF version.
  • Add shredded mozzarella in last 5 minutes for cheesy variation.
  • Include cubed potatoes or sweet potatoes for a heartier meal.
  • Reheat in air fryer or oven to maintain crispiness.
