This recipe is perfect for a hearty family dinner or a special occasion.

Instructions:
- Mince the garlic clove.
- Grate the lemon peel to get 2 tsp.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
- If not already done, grate the parmesan cheese.
- Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Sprinkle the chicken breasts with a dash of salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, grated lemon peel, and chopped parsley.
- Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.
- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Once the chicken breasts are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the herb mixture and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chicken broth to the skillet with the herb mixture. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top of each piece.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the chicken to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the parmesan cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Transfer the herb-parmesan chicken breasts to serving plates.
- Spoon any remaining sauce from the skillet over the chicken for extra flavor.
- Garnish with a bit of extra chopped parsley, if desired.
- Serve the herb-parmesan chicken breasts hot, and enjoy with your favorite side dishes such as rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
Tips:
- Ensure your chicken breasts are of an even thickness for uniform cooking. You can pound them lightly if needed.
- For a more intense garlic flavor, you can use additional garlic cloves or even garlic powder.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best texture and flavor as pre-grated cheese can be drier and less flavorful.
- Adding a dash of white wine to the chicken broth can enhance the depth of flavors in the sauce.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking before serving to let the juices redistribute and keep the meat tender.
