Lemon Chicken
Ingredients:
Parmesan Crusted Chicken:
1½ lb chicken breasts (2 large), patted dry
1 Tbsp olive oil, for sautéing
1 Tbsp parsley, for garnish (optional)
½ lemon, sliced for garnish (optional)
Egg Mixture:
2 large eggs
1 garlic clove, minced
½ tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
Parmesan Breading Mixture:
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
Lemon Butter Sauce:
8 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup chicken broth
¼ tsp ground black pepper
Directions:
Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise and gently pound with a meat mallet until evenly thick.
In one bowl, whisk together egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, combine Parmesan cheese and flour for breading.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then dredge in Parmesan mixture. Shake off excess.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden, crispy, and cooked through (165°F). Reduce heat if browning too fast.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a separate saucepan, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes.
Pour lemon butter sauce over the cooked chicken, coating evenly.
Garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley if desired.
