Recipe Summary Parmesan-Crusted Lemon-Pepper Chicken

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.

Ingredients | Warm Lemon Pepper Chicken Salad

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

Directions

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).
