Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, panko breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese.
In a separate small bowl, mix the melted butter, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Brush each chicken breast evenly with the butter and olive oil mixture.
Press each chicken breast into the dill and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even crust on both sides.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
