Directions

1. Lemon Garlic Chicken Parmesan, a delightful twist on the classic Chicken Parmesan with a burst of citrusy and garlicky flavors:
4. Instructions:
6. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
8. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and then coat with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.
10. Pan-Fry the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the breaded chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
12. Make the Lemon Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
14. Assemble and Bake: Place the pan-fried chicken breasts back into the skillet. Spoon some of the lemon garlic sauce over each piece. Top each chicken breast with a layer of shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan.
16. Bake in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
18. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot over pasta or with your favorite side dishes.
