Parmesan-Crusted Lemon-Pepper Chicken Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Place chicken breasts on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the thickest part of the breasts being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.

Combine butter lemon juice garlic salt and pepper in a shallow dish.

Combine bread crumbs Parmesan cheese parsley and basil in another dish.

Dip chicken in butter mixture then coat in Parmesan-crumb mixture. Place into the prepared baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink and juices run clear 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
