Everyone Loves Chicken Dinners!
My family loves chicken for dinner! I love that chicken is so versatile and easy to cook! It’s great in everything from Tacos to Stir Fry, and my kids love it. Baked chicken is one of my favorite main dishes, and I love coming up with new flavor combinations for it. For this recipe, we added a little bit of lemon which was the perfect addition to this baked parmesan crusted chicken. Why we love this:
Easy. It’s super easy to make and perfect for a busy weeknight! Tasty. It has a crunchy lemon and parmesan crust on the outside, and the chicken is tender and flavorful on the inside. Everyone loves it! Believe it or not, it was a hit with the whole family, even the kids!
Ingredients
boneless skinless chicken breasts – or chicken cutlets. If needed, use a meat mallet to pound the slices in an even thickness. egg lemon zest – Use a zester, the small part of a cheese grater, or a paring knife to shave the lemon peel. Stop when you get to the white part of the fruit. One medium lemon should yield 1 tablespoon of zest. fresh lemon slices dry bread crumbs – for a crispier texture substitute or mix the regular breadcrumbs with panko breadcrumbs. grated parmesan cheese garlic powder – Add even more flavor by seasoning the bread crumb coating with oregano, rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning. salt black pepper
