Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin pieces if not already done.
- Season the chicken pieces with a dash of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour and dried milk.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy.
- In a third bowl, mix the bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour and dried milk mixture, ensuring an even coat.
- Dip the floured chicken into the egg white, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
- Finally, coat the chicken with the bread crumb and parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt.
- Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine.
- Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it slightly reduces and thickens.
- Place the fried chicken on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the lemon sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Garnish with additional grated parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve the Lemon Parmesan Fried Chicken hot, alongside a fresh salad or your favorite side dish. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- For extra crispiness, let the breaded chicken rest for a few minutes before frying.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
- Make sure the oil and butter are hot before adding the chicken to the pan to achieve a crisp crust.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- After cooking, place the chicken on a wire rack to keep it crispy while preparing any additional dishes.
Lemon Parmesan Fried Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that brings together the tangy taste of lemon and the rich flavors of parmesan and butter. Pair it with your favorite sides, and you have a winning meal that will impress your family and friends. Bon appétit!
