This sheet pan dinner is a complete meal that comes together quickly. Chicken cutlets are brushed with a tangy honey Dijon dressing, topped with Monterey Jack cheese and crispy fried onions, then baked until golden and juicy. While the chicken roasts, green beans cook alongside and a quick garlic bread finishes the meal.
The result is a satisfying dinner with contrasting textures: crunchy topping, tender chicken, crisp-tender green beans and buttery toast. It’s a crowd-pleaser that requires minimal cleanup.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle position (for 4 servings, use top and middle racks). Place 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl to soften. Pat chicken cutlets dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken on one side of a baking sheet (or spread across entire sheet for 4 servings). Brush tops with ½ tablespoon honey Dijon dressing; reserve remaining dressing. Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over chicken. Crush crispy fried onions in their package, then sprinkle over cheese, pressing gently to adhere. Roast on middle rack for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim green beans if needed. After 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Toss green beans on empty side with a drizzle of oil; season with salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, leave chicken roasting; place green beans on a second baking sheet and roast on top rack.) Return sheet to middle rack and bake until green beans are tender and chicken is browned and cooked through, 12-15 minutes more.
- While chicken roasts, combine softened butter with garlic powder to taste; season with salt and pepper. Halve ciabatta bread and toast. Spread cut sides with garlic butter. Cut each half diagonally.
- Toss green beans with 1 tablespoon plain butter (2 tablespoons for 4 servings) until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Divide chicken, green beans and garlic bread among plates. Serve with remaining honey Dijon dressing on the side.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy onions, crush them just before sprinkling.
If your chicken cutlets are thick, pound them to even thickness for uniform cooking.
Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any juices.
FAQ
Can I use a different cheese?
Yes, shredded cheddar or provolone would work well instead of Monterey Jack.
Can I substitute the green beans?
Absolutely, try asparagus or broccoli; adjust roasting time as needed.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
