Saucy chicken, melty mozzarella and crisp-tender broccoli, all in one pan. What could be better? —Becky Hardin, St. Peters, Missouri

Ingredients

1 large egg
1/2 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
Olive oil-flavored cooking spray
4 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets (about 10 ounces)
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh basil, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Lightly coat a 15x10x1-in. baking pan with cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, whisk egg. In a separate shallow bowl, stir together the next five ingredients. Dip chicken breast in egg; allow excess to drip off. Then dip in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere. Repeat with remaining chicken. Place chicken breasts in center third of baking pan. Spritz with cooking spray.
Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread broccoli in a single layer along both sides of sheet pan (if broccoli is frozen, break pieces apart). Return to oven; bake 10 minutes longer. Remove from oven.
Preheat broiler. Spread marinara sauce over chicken; top with shredded cheese. Broil chicken and broccoli 3-4 in. from heat until cheese is golden brown and vegetables are tender, 3-5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with basil.

Test Kitchen tips

Try serving this on a bed of riced cauliflower. A number of brands are available in the vegetable section of the freezer case.

Like most Italian-inspired dishes, this would pair wonderfully with a thick slice of garlic bread.

Really easy and quick to make recipe. Loved it and using the broiler definitely made it just that much better. Also basil tasted great with it :)

Taste really good ... I used (Castelli "Garden Select" tomato & basil marinara sauce) great taste ... Unfortunately my broccoli started to burn slowly... Next time I'll put the broccoli a little bit later during cooking ... I cooked my chicken for 20 minutes... Then added my broccoli cooked another 20 minutes... Chicken wasn't fully cooked that's y I had to cook another 20 minutes not 10 .. then put my marinara sauce?n cheese on boil for 3 minutes.. I wish I could've done it for 5 minutes or longer but that's when my broccoli started to burn had to pull out ... My whole family loved it... Only Thing I would do different like I said is put broccoli few minutes before boil .. I had fresh not frozen broccoli.... Thank you... I served it with rice ... MARINARA SAUCE MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE !! MAKE SURE U PICK A GOOD ONE !! ?

Should chicken already be cooked before coating with egg and bread crumb mixture?
