Parmesan Crusted Chicken Recipe

Parmesan Crusted Chicken offers crispy, golden chicken breasts coated with a zesty breadcrumb and parmesan mixture. The chicken is marinated briefly in lemon juice and egg to keep it tender and add a mild tang, then baked to achieve a crunchy crust without frying. The combination of garlic powder and lemon zest in the crust gives a balanced savory and bright flavor, while fresh lemon slices served alongside enhance the dish's freshness.

  1. Trim the chicken and cut it into serving-size pieces. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and lemon juice. Place the chicken pieces in the egg mixture, cover, and refrigerate for thirty minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil and set aside.
