Parmesan Crusted Chicken With Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce Recipes

PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Measure the parmesan and sour cream into separate bowls. Zest the lemons, reserve ½ teaspoon of zest for the sauce, and stir the rest (about 2 ½ teaspoons) into the parmesan, followed by the Italian seasoning, granulated garlic and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir juice from ½ a lemon into the sour cream (about 1 tablespoon) and set the second half aside for the sauce (slice the other lemon into wedges for garnish).
• Rinse and dry the chicken, trim any visible fat, place the cutlets in a large plastic zip-top bag and seal well. Gently pound the chicken using a cast-iron skillet, rolling pin, or meat mallet until all pieces are a uniform ½ inch thickness, then lay flat on a baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the chicken evenly with ¼ teaspoon of sea salt and black pepper, then spread 1 tablespoon of sour cream across each piece. Sprinkle the parmesan mixture evenly across the top of the sour cream layer until it's all used up.
• Bake the chicken for 15 minutes OR until the thickest part of the chicken breast registers 165 degrees with an instant-read thermometer. If your chicken is thicker than ½ inch, it may take 17-25 minutes. If it's thinner, check it at 10-12 minutes. Optional: To brown the parmesan cheese topping and make it slightly crispy, turn the broiler to the high setting and place the chicken back in the oven for 1-2 minutes. Any longer than that and they may overcook.
• To serve, slice the chicken into strips, drizzle generously with the lemon garlic butter sauce and garnish with crushed red pepper flakes (optional) + extra lemon wedges.
• While the chicken is baking, mince the garlic and add the butter to a small saucepan. Melt over medium heat. Once it starts bubbling, cook the butter, stirring constantly, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30-60 seconds or until fragrant.
• Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the lemon zest + juice from the remaining half lemon. Set aside to let the flavors develop until the chicken's ready. If the sauce solidifies by the time you serve the chicken, reheat on low for 1-2 minutes until melted again.
