Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon

Cheese and Seasonings

  • 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan (plant-based)
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Oils and Sauces

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat dry the chicken breasts thoroughly with paper towels to help the crust stick. In a shallow bowl, combine plant-based Parmesan, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Lightly brush the chicken with olive oil, then press each piece into the Parmesan mixture, coating evenly on both sides.
  2. Arrange the Sheet Pan: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the coated chicken breasts in the center. Toss broccoli florets and halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, then arrange around the chicken. Nestle smoked turkey bacon pieces around the chicken and veggies to infuse flavor while roasting.
  3. Roast to Perfection: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), the vegetables are tender with some caramelization, and the turkey bacon crisps.
  4. Finish with Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural): Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) over the chicken and vegetables. Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

  • Pat the chicken dry to ensure the crust adheres well and crisps nicely.
  • Cut vegetables evenly to promote uniform cooking.
  • Let chicken sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before baking to cook evenly.
  • Use parchment paper on the sheet pan for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Check chicken doneness with a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and ensure juiciness.
