Preparation
Chef’s notes
If the chicken crust begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to allow the chicken to fully cook through.
If you prefer a less lemony flavor, reduce the lemon juice.
To prep in advance, slice the chicken and add it to the egg mixture, cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
For a healthier option, omit the egg mixture and parmesan mixture. Slice the chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and continue with the sauce preparation.
This recipe will work with chicken thighs and tenderloins; adjust cooking time accordingly.
