Aw, sheet pan dinners, where have you been all my life? If you haven’t heard of them before you are missing out big time. I think it was about a year ago that I first heard about insanely easy dinners that could be made all on one pan. Doesn’t that sound incredible!

You don’t have to be a chef or even that good of a cook to prepare it either. Just put everything on a sheet pan, and I mean everything, bake it all together and voila – you’ve got a complete dinner with hardly any fuss.   

And I know that most of you, after a long day, don’t even want to think about getting dinner on the table. Well, you’ll really appreciate the ease of preparation and the almost non-existent cleanup. Of course, knowing that they’re delicious too doesn’t hurt either.   

Today’s sheet pan dinner features crispy chicken, fresh cherry tomatoes and broccoli and some frozen steak fries. Of course, to make it a little tastier, I added some Parmesan cheese too - ‘cause cheese just makes everything better. 😊

Start by cutting the tomatoes in half and the broccoli into small florets. 

Mix the oil, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese together and toss the vegetables in it. Place them on the sheet pan.

Now crush the crackers into crumbs. I used an Italian and sea salt seasoned cracker but any crispy salty cracker will work.

Mix the cracker crumbs with Parmesan cheese either in a wide bowl or a large flat plate. Set aside.

Next, mix olive oil and Italian seasoning in a wide bowl. Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make them a little thinner.

Dip the chicken in the oil mixture then into the bread crumbs. Pat the bread crumbs in place.

Place on sheet pan with the vegetables. Here you can sprinkle with a little more parmesan if you just can’t get enough cheese. Just sayin’!

Add the potatoes to the sheet pan.

Ready to bake.

Bake for 40 minutes. The aromas alone will get your mouth watering. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack.

Just look at that crispy, crunchy chicken.

Plate it, take a bite and you’ll be hooked! Enjoy!
