Crispy Lemon, Garlic and Parmesan Baked Chicken Milanese is complete sheet pan dinner with potatoes and green beans smothered in a garlic butter sauce.
Throw your frying pans out the window for this sheet pan meal! Juicy parmesan baked Chicken Milanese is so easy! Crispy, golden, crumbed or breaded chicken fillets (also known as Schnitzels or Milanesas), oven baked instead of deep fried, but with a deep fried TASTE.
Oven Baked Chicken
I mean, who says you have to stand around the stove deep frying crumbed chicken, with oil spitting all over the place and possibly burning off eyebrows? Not me. This crumbed chicken Milanese is our favourite weekend dinner, one my mother is famous for in her house. You should all know I begged and pleaded with her to allow me to share it with you all (just kidding, she pretty much shoved the recipe in my face happy to share).
Parmesan baked chicken for the win!
How To Make Oven Baked Chicken Milanese
- The one thing we do differently with our breaded chicken is we doesn’t use flour. And believe me, you don’t miss it one bit.
- Eggs are whisked and flavoured with garlic, parsley, lemon juice and salt.
- Coat each fillet with a breadcrumb and parmesan mixture. Genius flavours, right?
- Bake in your oven for about 20-25 minutes, and out come the most tender-crisp and juicy milanese / milanesas.
- You can substitute breast for chicken thighs if you wish.
Egg wash for Parmesan Baked Chicken
Since we ALWAYS squeeze juice over the chicken once they’re done, adding juice straight into the egg wash is just as good.
Vegetables
Potatoes and green beans drizzled in garlic butter complete the meal. You could also use:
- Asparagus
- Sweet potatoes
- Zucchini
- Brussels sprouts

Crispy Parmesan Baked Chicken with Veggies (Milanese)
A CAFEDELITES© ORIGINAL RECIPE
Ingredients
For The Chicken:
- 1 egg large
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt to season
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper to season
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese fresh grated
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts or thighs
For The Veggies:
- 8-10 baby potatoes quartered
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pound green beans cut into thirds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C | 400°F. Lightly grease a baking tray / sheet with cooking oil spray, or a light coating of oil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Dip chicken into egg mixture, cover and allow to marinade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour (if time allows).*
- In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the parmesan cheese.
- Dredge the egg coated chicken in the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture, lightly pressing to evenly coat.
- Place chicken onto the baking sheet / tray and lightly spray with cooking oil spray. Arrange the potatoes around the chicken in a single layer. Mix together the butter, 2 teaspoons garlic and salt to taste, and pour half of the butter mixture over the potatoes. Toss to evenly coat.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove baking tray from the oven and carefully flip each chicken breast. Move the potatoes to one side and place the green beans around the chicken on the other side of the baking sheet. Pour over the remaining garlic butter and return to the oven to broil (or grill) on medium-high heat for a further 10 minutes, or until chicken is golden and crisp, and potatoes are cooked through.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley (optional), and serve immediately.

I made this recipe the other night and absolutely loved it!! the only thing I didn’t differently was add parmesan cheese to the green beans. Can’t recommend this enough!
OH MY GOSH! So good! It was Buttery juicy heaven! I made this tonight The whole family(including the kids) enjoyed this super simple throw together Sheet pan dinner. The only change I made was use Cilantro instead of parsley and added some onion along with the veggies to give it a punch of onion taste. Making this once a week now! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
OM MY GOSH! Buttery Juicy garlicky heaven. I tried yesterday night it was a huge hit everyone loved it so juicy and delicouis. I used cilantro instead of parsley tho.
Oh my gosh! This was so incredibly good!! I had pork loin schniblins that I had from cutting a huge pork loin into roasts, so I put those in there. I also used extra vegetables (carrots and sweet peppers), so it turned into a two sheet pan dinner, lol! So we have some amazing leftovers for tomorrow night. My house smelled amazing when it was in the oven, yum! My husband already said he can’t wait for dinner tomorrow night! Two thumbs up from us!
If I wanted to take out the potatoes and cook with brussel sprouts, zucchini and green beans would I need to put any of them in the pan for longer like with the potatoes?
Love the look of this recipe, but what can I use as a substitute for the egg, my daughter is allergic to egg :((
Egg-fee mayonnaise
Phenomenal! One of my biggest complaints about sheet pan dinners is that all the food can basically come out tasting the same, but not this recipe! The marinade on the chicken gave it its own unique, delicious flavor, and my entire family loved it! For a family of 8, that’s no small feat. This is going on our regular rotation for sure! Thank you!! <3
Is the nutritional information for one breast with potatoes and beans? Or is it just for the chicken breast? Thank you!
I made this for the first time last week. It was a huge hit. So much so my family demanded I make it again tonight. So quick and easy, but fancy and delicious enough for company. Thank you so much for this recipe!
My husband and I both really loved this recipe! The only thing I did different than the recipe was toss the potatoes and green beans in the garlic butter prior to putting them on the sheet. Next time I think I’ll cut the amount of butter in half because there was too much for our taste. Spraying the chicken with cooking spray is genius!
Made this tonight for supper. Absolutely delicious. Used carrots and green beans as the veggies. Very tasty.
This is very really unique helpful information.I learn so much from you as well! Thank you so much for sharing your helpful information. Keep it up.
My family loves it, and im so thankful cus I rarely cook for them yet they loved this recipe :)) thanks!
Love, love love!! This came out fantastic, it looked beautiful and it was delicious. I did cook for a longer time but otherwise followed the recipe as is. I will definitely be making this stein!!
