Ingredients
Before we jump into cooking, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients to whip up this deliciousness:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 lemons (juice and zest)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Now that we have everything ready, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to prepare your own Breaded Chicken Limone:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Start by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick. This will ensure they cook evenly.
- In a shallow dish, set up a breading station: put the flour in the first dish, whisk the eggs in the second dish, and combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in the third dish.
- Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each piece is thoroughly coated.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken pieces. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Once the chicken is nicely browned, squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken and sprinkle with lemon zest. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Your Breaded Chicken Limone is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it alongside roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or your favorite pasta to complete the meal. Bon appétit!
