Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Ingredients
4-5 Chicken breasts, fat and skin removed
1 cup panko bread crumbs
Two thirds cup grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons minced parsley
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup melted butter
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves minced
Preparation
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Mix the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper together in a shallow pie dish or a deep plate.
3
Mix the butter, lemon juice and garlic together in another shallow pie dish or deep plate.
4
Dip both sides of the chicken in the butter mixture - coating it well.
5
Quickly, place the chicken on the bread crumb mixture and toss the crumbs up over the edges and top of chicken breast using either your hands or a spoon. Then gently press the chicken so the crumbs on the bottom side stick to the chicken. Now turn the chicken over and again press that side into the crumbs.
6
Place chicken in 9x13 baking dish and repeat steps 3 and 4 with the rest of the chicken. Depending on the size of the chicken breasts you may need to use additional pans.
7
When all chicken is prepped, bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted in the thickest part of the chicken breast.

Recipe Notes:
9
If the butter and lemon juice mixture starts to congeal, microwave for 20 seconds.
10
Be sure to use grated parmesan cheese, shredded cheese won't stick to the chicken as nicely.
