Merken

The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity and bold flavor profile. While the chicken stays tender and juicy, the broccoli florets develop delicious roasted edges, and the cheesy topping provides an irresistible crunch that both kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

• Vegetables: 500 g (1 lb) broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
• Chicken: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 150–180 g / 5–6 oz each)
• Topping: 60 g (½ cup) panko breadcrumbs, 50 g (½ cup) grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (or mixed herbs), ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper
• For Serving: Lemon wedges (optional), fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Arrange the broccoli florets and chicken breasts on the prepared tray, keeping them in a single layer with some space between pieces.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly coated and crumbly.

Step 4

Sprinkle half of the Parmesan–panko mixture evenly over the broccoli and the other half over the chicken breasts. Gently press the topping onto each piece to help it adhere.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 74°C/165°F) and the panko topping is golden brown and crisp.

Step 6

If the topping needs more crisping, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove from the oven. Let rest for 2–3 minutes.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in lemon juice and olive oil for 30 minutes before baking. Using a meat thermometer is recommended to ensure the chicken reaches exactly 74°C (165°F) without drying out.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily swap the broccoli for cauliflower or add sliced bell peppers for more variety. For a slightly different flavor, try using different dried herbs like thyme or rosemary in the topping mixture.

Serviervorschläge

This dish is excellent served with a side of rice or crusty bread to soak up the juices. For the best experience, pair it with a crisp white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc.
