How to make sheet pan garlic Parmesan chicken thighs

Tonight’s one pan meal features chicken thighs, baby potatoes, and green beans, but you could also substitute broccoli or asparagus and even thinly sliced carrots for the green beans. All would work well.

I also chose to use bone-in chicken thighs with skin on. They are very succulent, and the dark meat adds extra flavor to the meal.

The recipe is very easy to prepare. The only hands-on part of the recipe is breading the chicken and then adding the green beans a bit later.

Prep steps

Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Preparing the coating ingredients

I like to use fresh herbs for both the egg mixture and the crumb coating. They add loads of flavor, and the Panko bread crumbs are very light and make a really crispy coating when it is cooked.

In a bowl, combine the egg, lemon juice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, sea salt, and cracked black pepper.
On a plate, combine the Panko bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and the grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake the chicken and potatoes

Combine the butter with garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
Dip the chicken thighs into the egg mixture and roll in the Panko mixture.
Place the chicken in the middle of the baking sheet.
Arrange the baby potatoes around the chicken.
Pour 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture over the potatoes and 1 tablespoon of butter over the chicken. (Save the last tablespoon for the beans).
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Add the beans

Remove the pan and place the green beans on the baking sheet.
Pour over the remaining butter mixture, and cook for another 10 minutes.

Browning the chicken

Turn the oven to broil.
Cook for a final 5-10 minutes with the door of the oven slightly open.
The meal is ready when the chicken is nicely browned, and the vegetables are tender.

Serving these sheet pan garlic Parmesan chicken thighs

Serve by placing one chicken thigh on each plate, along with a helping of the potatoes and green beans.

Garnish with slices of lemon and some fresh parsley.

The flavor of this roasted garlic Parmesan chicken is amazing. I am not fond of a recipe where the lemon takes over the taste. Using just half a lemon in the marinade gives the meal just a hint of citrus but not too much.

The chicken is fork-tender and full of flavor. My husband just raved about the taste of this recipe, and I have to agree with him. It really is good.

The beans are fragrant, and the potatoes have a crispy outside with a creamy center. So nice!
