Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to middle position (middle and top positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces.
-
In a small bowl, combine panko, mozzarella, half the mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
-
Toss potatoes and carrots on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper; arrange in a single layer (for 4, spread out across entire sheet).
-
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
-
Add chicken to opposite side of baking sheet from veggies (for 4 servings, place chicken on a second baking sheet). Spread tops of chicken with remaining mayonnaise; top with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).
-
Roast on middle rack until veggies are tender, panko is golden brown, and chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, roast on middle and top racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.) TIP: If chicken is done before veggies, carefully transfer to a plate and continue to roast veggies.
-
Meanwhile, dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Finely chop parsley. Peel and mince garlic. Zest and quarter lemon.
-
In second small bowl, combine tomato, parsley, garlic, juice from half the lemon, a pinch of salt, pepper, and as much lemon zest as you like.
-
Divide chicken and veggie jumble between plates. Spoon tomato topping over chicken. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Apr 2026- Flavor: Many loved the bruschetta topping and panko crust, though some found it bland and suggested adding Italian seasoning or balsamic glaze.
- Ease of prep: Super easy to make with simple instructions, though the dicing and mincing takes extra time.
- Suggestions: Cook veggies 5-10 minutes before adding chicken since they need longer; consider basil instead of parsley for authentic bruschetta flavor.
- Timing: Chicken cooks faster than vegetables, so stagger cooking times or remove chicken early if it's done first.
- Portions: Generous amounts of potatoes but many wanted more carrots; bruschetta topping could be doubled for better coverage.
Reviews from our home cooks
Good meal. I think this could have been improved if the bruschetta topping used basil instead of parsley - basil is kind of a basic ingredient for bruschetta. To close the loop on the bruschetta theme, a balsamic glaze finish on top of the chicken might have been a cool idea. The potatoes and carrots were kind of an odd choice for the side. We think garlic lemon couscous would have been a better pairing.
Chicken and veg cook time is off. Veggies needed an additional 5-7 mins to cook. Bruschetta was good, added some olive oil and basil. I'd also recommend adding the mozz on top last ~5 mins of cook time instead of mixed in with the panko.
This chicken was so tender. I roasted the veggies about 10 minutes longer. I would highly recommend this meal.
Delicious! I did add a few extra cloves of garlic and sprinkled some garlic powder on the potatos and carrots. It was perfection.
Tasty and easy preparation. I think the tomatoes would've been tastier if they were warmed in a skillet. Hot chicken and cold tomatoes didn't work well for me.
Very good but could have used more seasoning and more flavorful cheese like a cheddar or Parmesan mixed with the mozzarella.
Intense flavors. I especially loved the tomato/garlic/lemon garnish on the chicken.
Seasoning could be a little more dynamic for the veg but that can be up to the person preparing
A new favorite. Fresh flavors and easy prep and clean-up
This meal was just like a "home-cooked meal" without hassle.
