Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 to 1¼ lb total)
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
  • 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (plus extra for the sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 large eggs (for dredging) or 1/2 cup plain yogurt as an alternative
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for pan searing)
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for the garlic sauce)
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment.
  2. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness (about 1/2 inch) and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk eggs (or yogurt). In another dish, combine panko, Parmesan, minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Dredge each breast in egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
  5. Heat olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. While chicken rests, make the garlic sauce: in a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat, add minced garlic and sauté for 30–45 seconds. Stir in chicken broth and lemon juice, simmer for 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  8. Drizzle garlic sauce over the chicken and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges before serving.

Notes

For a herby twist, add lemon zest and dried thyme to the breadcrumb mix. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
