Lemon Garlic Chicken Butter

[Alix Stocking]

Thisparmesan-crusted Lemon Chicken Recipe is so EASY to make and completely ready in 30 minutes! The quick garlic and lemon butter sauce enhances the flavor of the chicken and adds so much flavor to the dish!

This dish is going to become a favorite chicken dinner recipe for BUSY evenings. The chicken breast is generously coated in parmesan and pan-fried to give it a crispy crust. The chicken is then smothered in a lemon butter sauce with garlic that adds so much flavor to the chicken.

For a quicker dinner, prepare the lemon sauce in a separate saucepan or skillet while the chicken is cooking. Then just pour the sauce over the chicken once it is cooked. Or, you can just cook the chicken, remove it from the skillet (cover to keep warm) and prepare the sauce in the same skillet, then add the chicken back.

If you like to prep dinner in advance, slice the chicken and add it to the egg mixture, cover and refrigerate until you are ready for dinner. Allowing the chicken to marinate will result in a juicier and more tender chicken breast. Then, just continue with the remaining recipe instructions.

Yes! For a healthier option, completely omit the egg mixture and parmesan mixture. Slice the chicken breast and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Then, continue with the preparation of the sauce.

This lemon chicken will work with chicken breast, chicken thighs, and even chicken tenderloins. You will want to prepare the recipe according to the instructions, the only difference will be in the cooking time. The cook time will depend on the size of the thighs, you want the internal temperature to reach 165F on an instant-read thermometer.

Those browned bits from the bottom of the pan give it great depth of flavor and the chicken broth helps scrape those up while giving it a good pan sauce consistency. Then the lemon adds the perfect flavor pairing for chicken and the butter makes it nice and rich. You just need to try it!

One of my go-to side dishes for chicken like so is steamed or roasted asparagus or broccoli, then I also like to serve it with orzo. Cauliflower rice would also be a good healthier alternative to the orzo. I love how that bit of extra sauce goes with the orzo, perfect match. Plus orzo is so lazy and easy.

I made this for dinner tonight, as written, with no changes. It was memorable. The chicken was moist and so flavorful. This recipe is definitely a keeper, and a great option for the next time we have company. Yum!

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.

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.

This was perfectly delicious and everyone loved it. I like that it did not use bread crumbs but still formed a beautiful crust. I did find that I needed to use more of the dry ingredients for the coating than was called for in the recipe but I probably used more chicken as well. I had extra sauce so I used it to drizzle on the side of green beans that I served. I also made a lemon garlic pasta to go with it to really entrench the lemon theme. I usually avoid recipes that require multiple steps and last minute pan frying when I have guests as the kitchen ends up in upheaval and I tend to get frazzled but in this case it was worth the effort!

Chicken: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts to use. Pound them to an even thickness for the best results when cooking. In addition, make slits on one side of each chicken breast. This allows all the delicious seasonings to infuse the chicken for the most flavor in each bite! You could also make this with chicken thighs if preferred. Adjust the cooking time as needed.

To store lemon garlic chicken, first, let it cool to room temperature. Then, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last up to 3-4 days. I think leftovers would be delicious when cut up and added to a lettuce salad for added protein!

Homestead Recipes is a book about comfort food! The best kind in my opinion. This book has you covered with recipes for all types of meals, with chapters for breakfast, casseroles, soups, appetizers, ground beef, chicken, pork, vegetables, salads, bars, desserts, and cookies.

These are the best Parmesan crusted chicken cutlets coated in delicious lemon butter garlic sauce! They will become your family favorite easy dinner recipe that you can make in just 30 minutes.

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2-3 tbsp olive oil. When hot, add the chicken cutlets and cook for about 5 minutes on both sides, or until it gets a golden crust and the internal temperature is at least 165F. When done, transfer the chicken to a plate, cover with foil, and set aside.

You had me at lemon chicken! I loved that you got it all crisped up then made up that lovely sauce that just Coates every inch of that golden chicken. Truly a great weeknight supper dish! Love it!

6. Place the seasoned chicken thighs top side down in the hot skillet and cook, until golden, about 5-6 minutes, then flip the chicken thighs and cook another 5-6 minutes, until cooked through and a cooking thermometer displays 165F (75C). If the chicken browns too quickly, lower the heat. Adjust timing depending on the thickness. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

7. In the same skillet, lower the heat and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add chopped parsley, garlic, hot sauce, red crushed chili pepper flakes, and pre-cooked green beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until cooked to your liking. Add lemon juice and chicken stock and reduce the sauce for a couple of minutes, until slightly thickened.

Learn how to cook chicken breasts on the stove with this easy lemon garlic chicken recipe! A vibrant citrus marinade with a little red pepper for a slight spicy kick, creates tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken breasts. Cooks in 15 minutes!

This ingredient list is pretty short, which is part of the beauty of this lemon garlic chicken recipe. The chicken is seasoned simply with aromatic spices and just a touch of red pepper flakes for a little kick. The lemon and garlic to do all the talking!

This was delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and my whole family gobbled this up. My husband said it tasted like it was grilled. The marinade and cutting the chicken into cutlets made all the difference.

Midway through preparing this, I decided I was in the mood for more schnitzelly (is that even a word?) recipe, so after I marinated the cutlets (the marinade is out of this world) I coated them in panko crumbs and baked them for 30 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Fabulous.

PAT DRY THE CHICKEN: Before doing anything, you will need to pat dry the chicken with paper towels to make sure any residual moisture is gone. This ensures that your roast chicken will have super crispy skin!

GET UNDER THAT SKIN: Not only do you want flavor on the outside but also within. Use your hands to carefully lift the chicken skin and get under there too. This goes for the seasonings as well as the garlic butter mixture. Great chicken goes beyond the surface and all throughout!

LET IT REST: Just like us humans need to rest, so does the roast chicken. Once the chicken is done cooking, take it out and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing into it- this is crucial. The resting process allows the chicken juices inside to settle and lock in its moisture.

Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken with Brussels Sprouts is an easy weeknight dinner that a whole family will love! Chicken and roasted Brussels sprouts are cooked in lemon butter sauce with lots of fresh garlic. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the sauce is pure comfort food!

I used skinless, boneless chicken tenderloins - they are, well, tender, and are already sliced the way I want them for this recipe. However, you can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts with equal success. Just slice them thinly.

I made this with Brussels sprouts which I roasted (seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper) in the preheated oven at 400 F for 20 minutes. You can also use roasted asparagus, green beans, or broccoli.

Cook chicken tenderloins in olive oil in a cast-iron skillet. After the chicken is cooked for about 5 minutes, sprinkle the chicken with Italian seasoning, crushed red chili pepper flakes, add minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and butter. Cook for another 2 minutes or more until the chicken is cooked through but not overcooked.
