🍗 James Martin Lemon Chicken Ingredients

For Parmesan Crusted Chicken:

• 1 1/2 lb chicken breast, (2 large), patted dry with paper towels
• 1 Tbsp olive oil, to sautee
• 1 Tbsp parsley, to garnish (optional)
• 1/2 lemon, sliced for garnish (optional)

For the Egg Mixture:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

For the Parmesan Breading Mixture:

• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour

🍋 For Lemon Butter Sauce:

• Tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

🍲 How To Make James Martin Lemon Chicken

1. Split the chicken breasts along the middle. Use a meat mallet to gently pound to an equal thickness.
2. Combine all of the egg mixture ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Mix the parmesan mixture’s ingredients together in a separate bowl.
3. Coat chicken with the egg wash, then rolls it around in the parmesan coating. Let the extra ingredients spill out of the bowls.
4. Heat enough oil to coat the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken once the pan is hot and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If the chicken starts browning too fast, lower the heat.
5. Meanwhile, melt the butter and garlic together in a separate pan until the aroma is released. Put in the lemon juice, chicken broth, and black pepper. Allow the sauce to cook for around 2 minutes.
6. Add the sauce to the chicken and turn to coat. Slice some lemons and sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Chicken breasts should be split and lightly pounded to the correct thickness to ensure equal cooking throughout.
• To the egg wash, add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to further elevate the chicken’s taste.
• Use a lot of the Parmesan breading to give the chicken a crunchy crust.
• To ensure the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat, use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature.
• The tanginess of the lemon butter sauce can be adjusted by changing the proportion of lemon juice to chicken stock.
