Sheet Pan Everything Bagel Chicken, Potatoes and Broccoli
This Everything Bagel Chicken, Potatoes, and Broccoli is the kind of weeknight dinner that saves you from a bland sheet pan situation and turns it into something you’ll want to make again and again. Juicy chicken, tender potatoes, roasted broccoli, and a crunchy everything bagel topping all bake up on one pan, then get finished with a simple 2-ingredient cream sauce that makes it SOOOO good!
Servings: 5 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes sliced 1/8–¼ inch thick
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 ½ teaspoons salt divided
- 1 teaspoon black pepper divided
- 1 large head broccoli cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons salted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cut the chicken into 5 portions, then lightly tenderize each piece with a meat mallet, focusing on the thicker areas without flattening the breasts.1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Add the potato slices to a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with the paprika, onion powder, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes onto the prepared sheet pan in a single layer. Use your hands to create spaces between sections of potatoes for the chicken.½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, 1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- Pat the chicken dry, drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil evenly over all of the breasts, and rub it all over both sides. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired. Nestle the chicken between the potato slices, ensuring the chicken is in direct contact with the pan and not fully covering any single area of potatoes.
- In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, everything bagel seasoning, and panko breadcrumbs until evenly combined. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture onto each chicken breast, then gently press it in so it adheres well. Bake for 18 minutes.2 tablespoons salted butter, 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning, ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- Meanwhile, add the broccoli to the same bowl used for the potatoes. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with the remaining ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Toss until well coated.1 large head broccoli
- Remove the pan from the oven and scatter the broccoli around the chicken and potatoes, keeping the florets mostly in a single layer. Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the potatoes are fork-tender with golden edges, and the broccoli is bright green.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the cream cheese for 30 seconds, or until very soft. Add the milk and whisk until smooth.4 tablespoons cream cheese, 2 tablespoons milk
- Just before serving, drizzle the cream cheese sauce over the chicken, potatoes, and broccoli.

Notes
- Potato slices: Slice the potatoes between ⅛- and ¼-inch thick for even cooking at 375°F. Thicker slices may remain undercooked, while thinner slices cook through more reliably.
- Panko breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs give you the crispiest crunch. Regular breadcrumbs can be used, but they won’t have the same crisp texture.
- Oil application: Rubbing the oil directly onto the chicken promotes even browning and better overall texture than brushing.
- Pan spacing: Keep the potatoes and broccoli mostly in a single layer. Overcrowding the pan can trap moisture and prevent proper browning.
