Baked Lemon Chicken Recipe

I love cooking for my family.  So when my son came home to visit I wanted to make it special!  For his birthday dinner I made Tuscan Style Spaghetti with Scallops!  Delish!!  Another favorite recipe of his is this Baked Lemon Chicken Recipe! When I made it, he asked why I had never shared it, and I had no answer!  So here it is!  This has been a family favorite for several years, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Variations

This is a great and versatile recipe.  You can swap out the parsley for basil.  It can be baked or if you want a crispier coating, fry first and finish baking in the oven.  Or you can make it into a lemon/pepper dish with a lemon pepper seasoning. I love creating recipes you can modify to your taste!  Variety is always better!

Ingredients

  • 6-8 Boneless Chicken Breast
  • 8 tbsp Melted Butter
  • 2 Lemons, sliced *juice from lemons can be used in place of concentrate but I slice and use them for decorative purposes.
  • 1 cup Panko Crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Concentrate *you can use a little less or more
  • Ground Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 tbsp Dried Parsley or a little more if using fresh

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 9" x 13" pan and set aside.
  • Place flour in a bowl. Take each chicken piece and cover both sides in flour.

  • In a third bowl, mix panko crumbs, parsley and shredded parmesan cheese. Coat both side of chicken in this and then place in greased baking dish. I put a little more ground pepper on the top of the coated chicken before baking. You do whatever you think you will like!

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes (depending on the thickness of your chicken) turn half way through and broil for a crispier coating the last 5 minutes. You can also pan fry the chicken first, then bake to finish cooking for a crispier coating. I have done it both ways. The healthier and easier version is to bake.

  • Serve with fresh parsley and shredded parmesan cheese to garnish or not! I place lemon slices on the top of my chicken pieces for decorative purposes only! Then enjoy! I served with a mushroom risotto and fresh roasted zucchini with shredded parmesan cheese and sliced onions! Delish!
