Parmesan Lemon Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Place chicken breasts on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the thickest part of the breasts, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.
• Combine butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
• Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and basil in another dish.
• Dip chicken in butter mixture, then coat in Parmesan-crumb mixture. Place into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink and juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. On a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third plate, combine the bread crumbs, the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, the lemon zest and thyme, and set aside.
• Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper until they are 1/4 inch thick. You can use either a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
• Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the prepared flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan and cook 2 or 3 chicken breasts on medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts.
• Place the arugula in a large bowl. In a 1-cup glass measure, whisk together the 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour enough dressing on the arugula to moisten. Toss well.
• Pile some arugula on top of each hot chicken breast. With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the chunk of Parmesan into large shards and arrange them on top of the arugula.

Steps:

• Pound each chicken piece to thickness of 1/2 inch between sheets of waxed paper. Place chicken in baking dish. Pour 4 tablespoons lemon juice over chicken and turn to coat. Let stand 10 minutes. Beat eggs with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice in medium bowl. Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan and lemon peel in shallow dish. Dip 1 chicken breast into egg mixture. Dip into breadcrumbs to coat; gently shake off excess. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining chicken, egg mixture and breadcrumbs.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of chicken to skillet and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter and keep warm. Repeat with remaining chicken in 2 more batches, adding 1 tablespoon butter with each batch. Garnish platter with lemon wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Pound out chicken tenders with a meat mallet until very thin. Remove membranes.
• Set up a breading station with 3 shallow dishes. Combine flour, 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, paprika, granulated onion, and pepper in the first bowl; mix until well combined. Whip eggs and remaining Parmesan cheese together in the second dish. Pour panko bread crumbs into the third dish.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat until oil reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Dredge chicken tenders in flour mixture, shaking off excess flour. Then dip tenders into egg mixture, and finally into panko bread crumbs, pressing to make sure panko adheres.
• Pan-fry chicken tenders in the hot oil until browned, about 90 seconds on each side. Remove tenders to a lined drip tray to drain excess fat before serving.
