A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy, juicy chicken thighs and caramelized vegetables coated in a savory garlic and Parmesan crust. Perfect for busy weeknights and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced fresh
  • 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skin-on
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced into wedges
  • Parchment paper or olive oil spray for pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
  3. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Toss in a bowl with half of the minced garlic and a drizzle of olive oil until coated.
  4. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Leave cherry tomatoes whole and slice the red onion into thin wedges.
  5. Toss the vegetables in a separate bowl with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly with olive oil spray.
  7. Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the pan, ensuring pieces are not touching. Arrange the vegetables around the chicken.
  8. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the chicken pieces.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, check the chicken; if cheese is browning too fast, tent loosely with foil. Rotate pan if needed.
  10. Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Veggies should be tender-crisp.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure chicken and veggies are dry before seasoning to maximize crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this causes steaming. If using frozen broccoli, thaw and pat dry thoroughly. For dairy-free, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
