Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the chicken breasts by patting them completely dry with paper towels. This ensures the seasoning adheres well and helps achieve a crispy exterior.
- Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts, using your hands to evenly coat each piece. Make sure the entire surface of the chicken is lightly covered with oil.
- Generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over both sides of the chicken breasts, pressing the seasoning gently to help it adhere to the surface.
- Prepare the baby potatoes by washing them thoroughly and cutting them in half. This allows for even cooking and helps them crisp up nicely.
- Arrange the halved potatoes on the sheet pan, spreading them out in a single layer. Lightly drizzle with remaining olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the sheet pan, ensuring they are not touching each other for even cooking.
- Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and arrange the spears around the chicken and potatoes on the sheet pan.
- Transfer the sheet pan to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden and crisp.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring moist chicken.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives for added color and freshness before serving.
Tips
- Pat the chicken completely dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy, golden exterior that locks in maximum flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the sheet pan - give each ingredient breathing room to ensure proper roasting and crispy edges.
- Use a meat thermometer to check chicken doneness - 165°F (74°C) is the magic temperature for perfectly cooked, juicy chicken.
- For extra crispy potatoes, cut them to uniform size and make sure they're spread in a single layer with some space between them.
- Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes after cooking to redistribute juices and keep the meat tender and moist.
- Feel free to customize the seasoning - while everything bagel seasoning is amazing, you can experiment with other spice blends to keep things interesting.
- If you want to meal prep, this recipe can be easily scaled up and the leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
