The Aussie Gourmet: Crunchy Chicken Dinner

In The K tchen Crunchy Chicken and Green Bean Sheet Pan Dinner

By Naomi Nachman

I love the idea of a sheet-pan dinner. It is easy to make, bake, and serve all on one pan. I love how quick it is to prepare, and it comes with a built-in side dish, too. You can use any kind of vegetable in this dish as long as it is cut thinly for faster cooking. I have tried it with frozen broccoli and fresh zucchini as well.
