Steps
The baked chicken with vegetables is very simple and quick to prepare. First, clean the vegetables, cut them into small pieces (do not make them too large, especially for the potatoes, otherwise they will not cook well) and place them in a non-stick baking tray.
Add the chicken cut into strips (or pieces) and season everything with oil, salt, and black pepper. Then add the halved cherry tomatoes, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and mix all the ingredients well.
Pour a bit of oil over the chicken with vegetables and bake in a preheated oven at 392 °F for about 35 minutes. Halfway through cooking (after about twenty minutes), add some oregano, give a quick stir, and add another bit of breadcrumbs and oil. In this way, the cooking will be more uniform, and neither the meat nor the vegetables will be soggy or under-crispy.
Tips:
The baked chicken with vegetables keeps in the fridge for a couple of days. You can use the vegetables you prefer, skip some, and add more of others; choose your favorites. You can also cook it in an air fryer at 374 °F for about thirty minutes.
