How to cook deliciously - Parmesan-Crusted Lemon-Pepper Chicken

1. Stage

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

2. Stage

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.

3. Stage

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

4. Stage

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

5. Stage

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

6. Stage

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).
