Let’s be honest: weeknight dinners can feel like a chore. But what if you could whip up something crispy, cheesy, and completely satisfying—all on a single baking tray? These One-Pan Crispy Parmesan Garlic Chicken Cutlets are here to save your sanity and your dishes!
They’re crispy, juicy, full of garlicky flavor, and made even better with roasted veggies that cook right alongside the chicken. That means fewer dishes, faster cleanup, and a dinner that looks like you tried way harder than you did.
Think of them as your new favorite comfort food—thin slices of chicken breast coated in garlicky panko breadcrumbs, plenty of Parmesan cheese, and baked (not fried!) until perfectly golden. And since we’re all about easy wins, we’re roasting the veggies right next to them for a complete meal in one go. You’ll feel like a weeknight wizard.
Pat those cutlets dry like a pro. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Beat the egg in a shallow bowl and set it aside.
In a bowl, mix together your panko, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and one tablespoon of olive oil. This combo makes the coating crispy and extra flavorful.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg (don’t forget to let the excess drip off), then press into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Feel free to press down for max crunch.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a big baking sheet. Lay your cutlets on one side. On the other hand, toss all your veggies with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then spread them out.
Drizzle that last tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken. Pop everything in the oven for 20–25 minutes until the cutlets are golden and the veggies are roasted to perfection. Flip the veggies halfway if you’re feeling fancy.
Let everything cool for a couple of minutes (if you can wait). Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top, grab some tongs, and serve straight from the tray. No extra dishes. You’re welcome.
