Recipe: Sheet Pan Lemon Parmesan Garlic Chicken & Veggies – Crisp, Herb-Crusted Perfection

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

chicken thighs

🥗Healthier: chicken breasts

💰Cheaper: bone-in chicken thighs

Bone-in thighs can be cheaper and still flavorful.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Crushed crackers can be a more economical substitute.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.

Add chicken thighs to the bowl and coat evenly with the marinade.

Place the marinated chicken thighs on the prepared sheet pan.

Cut potatoes into wedges and arrange around the chicken on the sheet pan.

Add asparagus to the sheet pan, drizzling with olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
