Parmesan Italian Chicken with Vegetables

Parmesan chicken with vegetables… the chicken is coated in Italian seasoned bread crumbs along with Parmesan cheese; the vegetables are also tossed with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. A simple dish that is sure to be a family pleaser.

Even though I had a week off from blogging, I didn’t really have a lot time to create any new dishes with family visiting. And also I worked most of the week, so when I got home from work everyone was working on the dinner when I got home. Of course I pitched in when I finally made it home, but it was nice to have so many helpers in the kitchen.

Being the blogger that I am, just because I didn’t have time to whip up new food recipes in the kitchen, doesn’t mean that I didn’t have recipes bouncing around in my head. Such as this chicken that I featuring today. After having this recipe rolling around in my head for several days I was anxious to try it. So while in the kitchen on Sunday I decided that it would have to be on the menu for dinner that night. Great idea!

I used bone in chicken thighs for more flavor. The chicken thighs were coated with Italian seasoning bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. I browned them in a skillet coated with olive oil. While they were browning I cut up some green peppers, onion, garlic, and russet potatoes. The vegetables are then tossed with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.

Once the chicken thighs are browned they are placed in a baking dish with the vegetables placed around them. I baked them in the oven until the chicken was tender and well done and the vegetables were tender and slightly browned.

This is an easy dish that comes together quickly. It is most definitely a family pleasing dish.
