Pan Fried Lemon Parmesan Crusted Chicken Recipes

PAN SEARED PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• First, paper towel dry the chicken and then prepare two bowls. One is for the egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Next, you should whisk the egg mixture slightly.
• The second bowl is for the parmesan, bread crumbs and flour.
• Now it's time to dredge each chicken breast piece in egg/seasoning mixture. After that place in parmesan mixture and press. Turn to coat the other side of the chicken with parmesan mixture and press again.
• Repeat with remaining chicken pieces and place each coated parmesan chicken onto a plate or a cutting board.
• MELT butter and ADD olive oil on medium high heat in a skillet (stainless steel, cast iron skillet or non-stick).
• PLACE COATED CHICKEN in skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes one one side. DO NOT MOVE chicken otherwise the cheese will slide off surface before it adheres! Press down lightly with a spatula.
• TURN WITH TONGS when the first side is golden brown and cook the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not cook for more than a total of 6-8 minutes - just set the timer and flip when it beeps.
• CHECK FOR DONENESS to make sure the chicken is fully cooked and not pink. If not, lower the heat and cook for a couple more minutes.
• SERVE immediately.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN

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).
