Breaded Lemon-Garlic Chicken Breasts image

This is one of my family's favorite chicken recipes (I have many posted on this site!) --- to save time you may coat with the breading mixture, roll up the breasts and refrigerate until ready to bake --- the subtle lemon flavor gives the chicken it a really nice kick --- there is no need to pound the breasts thin just roll them up as tightly as you can they will stay together during and after baking, also I have even topped them with sliced mozzarella cheese :)

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs (use only dry, fresh will not stick)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley (or to taste) or 1 -2 teaspoon dried parsley (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper (can use seasoning salt if desired)
1/2 cup butter (melted in the microwave with the garlic)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (can use more, do not use bottled, I use the juice of 1 whole lemon)
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh garlic clove (can use more or less)
5 -6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded to about half)
paprika (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Butter an 11 x 7-inch or a 9-inch baking pan baking dish (if doubling the recipe to make 12 breasts, use a 13 x 9-inch pan.
  • In a bowl, combine the dry breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • In another bowl combine the melted butter/garlic mixture and lemon juice; whisk well to combine (if you run out of butter when dipping the breasts, which has happened to me many times, just melt about another 1/4 cup butter and add in about 1 tablespoon more of lemon juice in the microwave.
  • Dip chicken in butter mixture, then roll in crumbs (patting down the crumbs into the chicken breasts).
  • Roll-up chicken jelly-roll style; place seam side down in a greased baking dish drizzle with any remaining butter mixture; sprinkle with paprika if desired.
  • Place a slice of cheese on top the last 10 minutes of baking if desired.
  • Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked though (baking time will vary depending on how thin you pounded the chicken).

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe was a complete failure. The chicken was tough and the breading was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the breading was soggy. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to give it more flavor.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the breading was crispy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This breaded lemon garlic chicken recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the breading was crispy and golden brown. I loved the tangy lemon flavor and the roasted garlic added a delicious depth of flavor.
