Question 1

1. How do I keep the chicken crispy after baking?

Accepted Answer

To maintain crispiness, avoid overcrowding the sheet pan, which can trap moisture and cause the coating to become soggy. Also, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs for a crunchier texture.

Question 2

2. Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, boneless, skinless chicken thighs work great in this recipe. They tend to be juicier than chicken breasts and may require a few extra minutes of cooking time.

Question 3

3. What vegetables work best for this recipe?

Accepted Answer

Firm vegetables that roast well at 400°F (200°C) are ideal. Some great options include:

Broccoli – Crisps up nicely with great flavor.
Carrots – Add natural sweetness and color.
Bell Peppers – Provide a slight crunch and freshness.
Zucchini – Cooks quickly and pairs well with the Parmesan crust.
Potatoes – Cut into small cubes for even cooking.

Question 4

4. Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can prep the ingredients in advance:

Coat the chicken in the Parmesan mixture and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
Chop the vegetables and store them separately in an airtight container in the fridge.
When ready to cook, arrange everything on a sheet pan and bake as directed.

Question 5

5. How do I make the Parmesan crust stick better to the chicken?

Accepted Answer

To ensure the coating adheres well:
- Pat the chicken dry before coating.
- Use olive oil or an egg wash to help the Parmesan mixture stick.
- Press the coating firmly onto the chicken to create a thick, even crust.

Question 6

6. Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?

Accepted Answer

It’s best to use thawed chicken to ensure even cooking. If using frozen chicken, thaw it completely in the refrigerator before coating and baking.
