Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts thin sliced
- 12 oz lemon pepper marinade I use Lawry's
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2-3 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning depending on how you like it
- Avocado oil spray optional
Instructions
- Trim the extra fat from your chicken breasts. Pound them to even thickness.
- Place the chicken breasts in a container or ziploc style bag.
- Add the bottle of marinade.
- Marinade anywhere from 15 min to 24 hours. The longer they marinade, the stronger the flavor.
- When you're ready to cook them, preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a shallow dish (big enough to fit the breasts), add your panko breadcrumbs and lemon pepper seasoning. Mix to combine.
- Pull each breast from the marinade mixture (don't rinse or shake off the marinade, it is the "glue" for the breading).
- Place the breast in the panko mix, covering it completely with breadcrumbs.
- Put breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment or silicone baking mat (you could also use a casserole style dish).
- This is an optional step: spray the tops of the chicken breasts lightly with avocado oil to get them extra crispy!
- Bake in the oven until internal temp reaches 165°F. I use thin cut breasts and they are usually done around 25 minutes. Enjoy!
