Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • Fresh lemon slices

Instructions
 

  • Trim the chicken and cut it into serving-size pieces.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and lemon juice.
  • Place the chicken pieces in the egg mixture, cover, and refrigerate for thirty minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly.
  • Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray for added crispness.
  • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the pieces and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Serve your Parmesan crusted chicken warm, accompanied by fresh lemon slices.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken for at least thirty minutes for extra flavor.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for best results.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan for crispy results.
  • Check for doneness with a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F.
  • Adjust seasonings as preferred.
