Variations

Storage/Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes or microwave individual portions for 1–2 minutes. For best texture, reheat chicken in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness. The vegetables can also be reheated in a skillet for a quick stir-fry-style lunch.

FAQs

Can I use bone-in chicken?

Yes, but increase the baking time by 10–15 minutes and check the internal temperature to ensure it’s fully cooked.

What’s the best type of breadcrumb for a crispy crust?

Panko breadcrumbs provide the crispiest texture, but regular breadcrumbs or crushed crackers also work well.

Can I prep this ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep the crusted chicken and chop the veggies ahead. Store separately in the fridge and bake when ready.

Do I need to flip the chicken or veggies while baking?

No, it’s not necessary, but you can flip the veggies halfway through for even browning if desired.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

Fresh is best for roasting, but you can use frozen—just expect them to release more moisture and be softer in texture.

What other vegetables can I use?

Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, asparagus, or cherry tomatoes are all great options.

How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?

Use a meat thermometer to check that the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Can I use pre-shredded Parmesan?

Yes, though freshly grated Parmesan will melt and adhere better to the crust mixture.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?

Absolutely. It stores and reheats well, making it a great option for weekly lunches or dinners.

What dipping sauces pair well with this?

Try honey mustard, ranch, tzatziki, or a simple garlic yogurt sauce for extra flavor.
