Brush the chicken breasts lightly with olive oil, then press them into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides. Place them on one side of the sheet pan.
Toss the broccoli florets with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper, and place them on the other side of the pan.
Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is nearly cooked through.
Remove the pan from the oven. Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast and top with shredded mozzarella.
Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken reaches 165°F.

30. Sheet Pan Breakfast-for-Dinner: Eggs, Sausage, Potatoes, and Peppers

Breakfast for dinner is always a good idea, especially when it all cooks together on one pan.

Ingredients:

1 lb baby potatoes, diced small
1 bell pepper, diced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
8 oz fully cooked breakfast sausage links, sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4-6 large eggs
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously grease a large sheet pan.
Toss the diced potatoes, bell pepper, and onion with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on the sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the sliced sausage.
Use a spoon to create 4-6 small “wells” or hollows in the potato mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolks.
Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of hot sauce or toast.
