Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. To make the parmesan crust, combine olive oil, Parmesan, thyme, oregano and garlic powder in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using your fingers or a brush, work the parmesan crust onto both sides of the chicken.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together chicken stock, lemon juice and lemon zest; set aside.
  4. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add chicken stock mixture.
  5. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
  6. Serve immediately.
