Crispy Parmesan Baked Chicken with Veggies (Milanese)
A Parmesan crumb coating gives this chicken a crisp, savory outside, with buttery potatoes and green beans alongside. Lemon and garlic run through the coating, making the golden chicken especially inviting where the crumbs catch a little of the garlic butter.

A few quick notes
1. Press on the crumbs
After the egg coating, lightly press the chicken into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture to cover it evenly.
2. Keep potatoes in one layer
Arrange potatoes around the chicken in a single layer and toss with half the garlic butter before baking.
3. Add beans later
Add the green beans after the initial bake, when you flip the chicken and move the potatoes aside.

Review ingredients in your pantry before anything is added. Meal plans use your household size; grocery-only additions use the servings selected above.
The last little job
Finish golden and crisp
Continue under the broiler or grill setting until the chicken is golden and crisp and the potatoes are cooked through.
A little more help as you go
Optional marinating time
If time allows, refrigerate the chicken in the egg mixture for thirty minutes to an hour before breading.
Divide the garlic butter
Use half the butter mixture on the potatoes first and the remainder after adding the green beans.
A few questions you might have
Does the chicken need marinating?
The thirty minute to one hour egg marinade is optional; it can be omitted if time is short.
When do the green beans go on the tray?
Add them after the first fifteen minute bake, moving potatoes aside and flipping the chicken first.
Does all the garlic butter go on at once?
Pour half over the potatoes first, then add the rest when the green beans join the tray.
How do I help the crumbs coat evenly?
Lightly press the egg coated chicken into the combined breadcrumbs and Parmesan before placing it on the tray.
Can I use chicken thighs?
Yes. Skinless boneless thighs are listed as an alternative to breasts for the Parmesan breadcrumb coating.
Any more cooking tips?
The chicken develops a deeper flavour when marinaded in the egg mixture, although if you don’t have time, you can omit this step.
