Baked Lemon Chicken Recipe

Baked Lemon Chicken Recipe

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!

Baked Lemon Chicken

This is an easy and healthy recipe for you and your family to enjoy and ready in less than 45 minutes!
Prep Time15 minutes mins
Cook Time25 minutes mins
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: chicken recipe, easy dinner recipe, Healthy, quick dinner recipe

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 second bowl, mix parsley, lemon concentrate, pepper and melted butter. Then place each chicken piece in the butter mixture and coat on both sides.

  • 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!

    Can the lemon chicken be cooked in an air fryer?
