Parmesan-Crusted Lemon-Pepper Chicken image

This dish was a great hit with my family. Even my 2-year-old loved it and he's a very picky eater. The lemon in this chicken dish gives it a great zing. Serve with rice pilaf and steamed garlic green beans and you've got a delicious meal.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup plain dry bread crumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried basil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Place chicken breasts on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the thickest part of the breasts, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.
  • Combine butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
  • Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and basil in another dish.
  • Dip chicken in butter mixture, then coat in Parmesan-crumb mixture. Place into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink and juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I made this dish for my family and they loved it! The chicken was so moist and tender, and the crust was perfectly crispy. The lemon-pepper sauce was also a big hit. I will definitely be making this dish again.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. The chicken was cooked perfectly, but the lemon-pepper sauce lacked flavor. I would recommend adding more lemon and pepper to the sauce next time.
