Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Crust

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Finishing

  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust Mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine plant-based Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle olive oil into the mixture and stir gently until the crumbs are lightly coated and hold together when pressed.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry and brush lightly with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Press each piece firmly into the crust mixture ensuring a generous, even coating that will crisp up during baking.
  3. Arrange the Veggies and Chicken: On a large sheet pan, toss broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread them in a single layer, then nestle the coated chicken breasts among the veggies for even cooking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust turns golden brown. The vegetables should be tender yet slightly crisp.
  5. Add Final Touches: Remove from the oven and zest fresh lemon over the top for a bright, refreshing finish. Let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to settle and flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use room temperature chicken for even and quicker cooking.
  • Press the crust firmly onto chicken to ensure it stays in place and crisps well.
  • Arrange vegetables in a single layer to avoid steaming and promote roasting.
  • Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; leave space for heat circulation to keep ingredients crispy.
