Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce
The beauty of this post is that it incorporates two recipes that are delicious on their own. Two for the price of one lol. I have made the crusted chicken without this sauce and love it and have created this sauce and used it for fish, pork and other meats.
The other bonus of this recipe is the time it takes to come together. Prep takes longer than actual cook time. These are my favorite types of recipes because the delicious end result requires very minimal effort.
The sauce is not everything here. You can absolutely make just the chicken and that is YUM as heck on its own. But the sauce is soooo deliciously drippy and definitely recommended.
This is the perfect dish to make for a get together. You can prep the chicken and parmesan mixture and refrigerate before everyone gets to your house and be ready to go when they get there.
If you really want to impress your guests, make sure you serve with lemon slices and chopped fresh parsley for presentation. This serves incredible with mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, french fries, zoodles or salad. I made it with rice and the excess sauce was phenomenal on it.

HI susan, glad you loved the dish! Cheers!
This was amazing, my entire family loved it. A nice change to plain chicken cutlets. So much flavor, thank you!
Hi Lisa, glad you all enjoyed the chicken dish! thanks for the kind rating!
what can you use instead of chicken broth
water
I love this so much! I could eat all the chicken in one go. I don’t use flour, as I’m following a low carb diet, and I do with boneless chicken thighs. It taste so good!!
I made this 3 times this week! My family loves it. Super easy and every bite packed with flavor. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.
I made this tonight for a quick chicken dinner. It was very good and easy directions. Cooked it on my cast iron skillet. I pounded the raw chicken breasts to an even thickness about 1/2-3/4 inch thick because I like cooking chicken that way. I also tenderized it with the spiky side. I used an all purpose gluten free flour. Thanks for your recipes!
Garlic Lemon Parmesan Chickenvery good trcipe
Rated this recipe 5 stars because it is really simple to make and is flavorful! I used chicken thighs because I prefer dark meat. I sliced the chicken in strips, served over buttered noodles, and poured sauce over it. My veggie was green beans.
This recipe is legit, easy to follow and the results are yummy! We have made the chicken together with the lemon butter sauce twice and both times everyone loved it and wanted more!
Looks amazing! Do you have recommendations on how much garlic and onion powder to use?
How far in advance can you prepare this meal and how do you keep
It crispy
What is the best way to prepare ahead of time and still keep it crispy
How do you do this if you want to prepare ahead of time so it stays crispy
How does only 1.5 TBS of oil going to be enough to shallow fry the chicken?
It looks amazing 🤩
Hi Valentina, thank you!! It was enough for me.. but if you like more, definitely add more to your pan!
I used the oil amount as listed but added 1T of butter and it browned nicely with a little bit of buttery flavor.
This is so delicious & reheated beautifully. The sauce a real winner.Thank you for all your great,very watchable videos
The reel on FB shows what looks like Paprika and you mention mixing honey with the lemon and oil. Is this supposed to be the same recipe?
