Introduction
An elegant and crispy lemon Parmesan-crusted chicken topped with a peppery, bright lemon-dressed arugula salad, paired with perfectly roasted, crispy-edged smashed potatoes topped with melted Parmesan and fresh chives.
Step 1
【Lemon Parmesan Chicken】Dice Parmesan cheese into small cubes and pulse in a food processor until ground into a slightly coarse texture.
Step 2
【Lemon Parmesan Chicken】Prepare three plates for dredging: Plate 1 (1 cup flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper), Plate 2 (2 eggs beaten with 1 tbsp water), Plate 3 (1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 1 tsp chopped thyme).
Step 3
【Lemon Parmesan Chicken】Pound chicken breasts between sheets of parchment paper with a rolling pin or meat mallet until 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
【Lemon Parmesan Chicken】Dredge each chicken breast: coat in flour, dip in egg wash, and then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly.
Step 5
【Lemon Parmesan Chicken】Cook the chicken in a large skillet with melted butter and olive oil over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Grinding your own Parmesan cheese rather than buying pre-grated provides a coarser texture that holds up better during cooking.
Pounding the chicken breasts to an even 1/4-inch thickness ensures they cook evenly and rapidly without drying out.
Dry seasoned breadcrumbs are ideal for sautéing as they create a crisper crust, whereas fresh breadcrumbs are better suited for baking.
Make sure the potatoes are boiled until fully tender before smashing, otherwise they will crack and break apart unevenly.
