I know what you want – it’s what we all want! More options for delicious, quick and easy weeknight dinners – right! This Parmesan Crusted Chicken totally fits the bill. It’s easy enough to make for a quick weeknight dinner but also elegant enough to serve for company.
I didn’t really think about it but I guess in a sense I’m re-gifting this recipe. It comes straight from the plains of Oklahoma. When we lived there many years ago our dear friends Todd & Allison would make this for us.
I remember it vividly… JoJo greeting us at the door doing the pee pee dance and maybe letting a little slip. (We eventually moved the greeting outside – you know, less clean up that way.) Oh, JoJo was their adorable Pomeranian – should have mentioned that as well. The most delectable smells of garlic and cheesy goodness waffling through the air. Todd putting the finishing touches on the Atomic Salad (now that’s a recipe you want for sure). Allison entertaining us, getting us drinks and offering to help Todd (praying he didn’t take her up on it). She’s not so much for cooking but she can set a mean table and make you laugh – a lot. Love that girl!
Then the moment we’d all been waiting for…sitting down to the most mouthwatering meal anyone could ask for. What can I say we’ve had some great times with good friends and always enjoyed wonderful food. Thanks Todd & Al!
As you can tell this recipe holds a special place in my heart and in my belly. It’s a really simple recipe but super tasty. So if cooking isn’t your jam this recipe will be. It’s so easy – you literally mix, dip and bake. The chicken comes out golden on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside.
How To Make Parmesan Crusted Chicken:
There are not a whole lot of ingredients or steps involved to put this together. You basically mix your breadcrumbs, Parmesan, fresh parsley, salt and pepper in a shallow pie dish (or plate).
Then in another dish mix the melted butter, fresh lemon juice and minced garlic.
Dip both sides of your chicken breasts in the butter dish then in the breadcrumbs.
Bake on 350 for 35-40 minutes in a 9×13 baking dish…and DEVOUR!!
And that’s all there is to this easy chicken & parmesan meal! See, like I said, a simple recipe that’s easy and quick! Now I’ll let you make it and experience the delicious part… get ready for this to go into your weekly rotation! Enjoy
