Directions Parmesan-Crusted Lemon-Pepper Chicken
Directions
-
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).
