Cookware

baking sheet pan · chef's knife · colander · cutting board · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · oven mitts · stirring spoon · tongs

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place on one half of a large baking sheet; spread the ranch dressing over the chicken.
  4. Working in batches if needed, press the crumb mixture onto both sides of the chicken until it adheres, then lay the coated pieces back on the sheet.
  5. On the other half of the sheet, place the halved Brussels sprouts and the cauliflower florets.
  6. Drizzle the vegetables with oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat and spread in a single layer.
  7. Bake the sheet in the oven, stirring the veggies and turning the chicken halfway through, until the chicken is golden and cooked through and the veggies are tender, about 15–18 minutes.
  8. Transfer to plates and evenly divide the chicken and vegetables for serving.

Two tips

  • Prep ahead by mixing the breadcrumb seasoning and storing it in the fridge for up to a day.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat the chicken and vegetables together for a quick meal later.
