Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine the Parmesan cheese and parsley.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in the Parmesan mixture until well-coated.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  4. In the same skillet, combine lemon juice and chicken broth; bring to a simmer.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked through, drizzle the lemon sauce over the chicken and serve.

Notes

This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. You can also serve it with rice or pasta for a complete meal. For an extra crispy coating, consider using panko breadcrumbs mixed with the Parmesan cheese.
