Panko Crusted Chicken With Lemon Cream Sauce Recipes

PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium to medium-high heat, combine the heavy cream, garlic, lemon juice and lemon pepper seasoning. Slowly bring to a gentle boil, and then reduce the heat to low to simmer. Once the sauce starts to simmer and has small bubbles around the edge of the pan, add the Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and incorporated into the sauce. Continue to let simmer, stirring occasionally while you prepare the chicken.
• Set up two shallow bowls. In one bowl, crack the egg and fork whisk to make an egg wash. In the second bowl, combine the parmesan cheese and dried Italian seasoning. Coat the chicken with the egg wash and then liberally coat with the parmesan mixture. Repeat this process with each piece of chicken.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium to medium hight heat. Once the pan is heated and the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes or until crispy and golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and crispy. (Only flip the chicken once during cooking to ensure that the breading stays on.)
• Remove the chicken from the pan and top with the sauce.

PANKO CHICKEN WITH CREAMY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine chicken thighs and buttermilk in a bowl. Stir well. Cover and refrigerate for at least three hours. Overnight is okay, too. My chicken thighs were quite large, so I cut them in half to maximize the coverage of panko breadcrumbs (see note in Step 4).
• When ready to cook, pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine panko breadcrumbs, thyme, smoked paprika, lemon zest and salt in a bowl and stir well.
• Remove each thigh piece from marinade and dredge in the panko mixture. Transfer to a plate. Note: Panko breadcrumbs are larger and crispier than regular breadcrumbs. I love their taste and texture -- I cut the thighs in half so I can use more crumbs. If you leave the thighs whole, you will probably need only 1 cup of crumbs.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet/frying pan. Brown the thighs, on both sides - about 4-5 minutes per side. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to do this in more than one batch.
• Transfer partially-cooked thighs to a baking dish and pop in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the thighs are cooking, wipe out the skillet/frying pan you used for the chicken, so you can use it again. Hey, why wash pots and pans unnecessarily. And slice the onions and mushrooms, and chop the garlic and parsley.
• Melt the butter in the wiped-out skillet and add the last tablespoon of oil. Heat. Then add the sliced onions and cook for 2 minutes. Then add the sliced mushrooms and chopped garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until everything has softened.
• Stir in the cream and parsley. Heat through.
• When serving, spoon sauce over the chicken.

PARMESAN-PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON BUTTER S

Steps:

• 1. Set up an assembly line of three rimmed dishes. In the first dish, add the flour, salt, and pepper; mix well. In the second dish, add the 2 beaten eggs. In the last dish, combine the panko and parmesan cheese.
• 2. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a large jelly roll pan/baking sheet with foil, and top with an oven-safe cookie cooling rack. Spray well with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• 3. Heat 1 tablespoon each of the butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is nice and hot, pan sear the chicken (only 2 at a time to avoid over-crowding) for 2-3 minutes per side. Keep a close eye as they will brown quickly due to the parmesan cheese. They should be nice and golden when you flip them. Once both sides are browned, remove and place onto prepared pan. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and olive oil and repeat process with the last 2 chicken breasts.
• 4. Place pan into oven and bake for 12-18 minutes at 350º F until chicken is cooked through (cooking time depends on how thin you pound out the chicken).
• 5. For the Lemon Butter Sauce:
• 6. While chicken is baking, add the butter, olive oil, and chicken broth to the pan that the chicken was cooked in. Bring to a simmer and whisk the flour into it until all of the lumps have been removed and it begins to thicken. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. reduce heat to low. Once chicken is about ready, add the half and half and lemon juice to the sauce and whisk together until warmed through. Serve chicken over mashed potatoes with a drizzle of the sauce. Delicious!
