Easy one-pan dinner packed with flavor that's perfect for any weeknight dinner.
Chicken & veggies is the classic healthy dinner, but it doesn’t have to be boring. Add some parmesan and some breadcrumbs, and you’ve got a parmesan chicken & veggie bake that’s loaded with flavor. It’s so crunchy and cheesy that you won’t even remember it’s also healthy. We used protein-packed chicken breasts and fiber-rich veggies, so you can feel good about eating a dish that tastes so indulgent. It’s a win-win.
Parmesan Chicken & Veggie Bake
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini medium, cut into thick chunks
- 1 yellow squash medium, cut into thick chunks
- 1/2 pound red potatoes cut into quarters
- 1 red bell pepper small, cut into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese low-fat, grated
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 24 to 32 ounces boneless and skinless chicken breasts
- 2 egg whites large
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly coat a 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl add zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper, and potatoes. Add the olive oil, half the salt, half pepper, 1/4 cup of the Panko bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon of the garlic powder. Toss well and spread in an even layer in the prepared casserole dish.
- Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Set aside. Place the egg whites in a small bowl. In a second small bowl add the remaining Panko, half the remaining parmesan cheese, and remaining garlic powder. Dip the chicken into the egg whites and then coat in the parmesan garlic crumbs. Ensure all sides of the chicken are coated. Lay chicken on top of the vegetables in the casserole dish.
- Bake 30 to 40 minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Remove from oven and top with remaining Parmesan and serve.

Hi, using this for our Bake sale at Church. Have never tried Freezing and reheating. Is that a good idea for this casserole and if so suggestions.
Thanks DJ
DJ, That should be fine. The important thing to keep in mind, be sure to defrost in the fride before reheating.
