About Lemon breaded chicken

Lemon Breaded Chicken is a flavorful dish combining tender chicken breast coated in a crisp, golden breadcrumb crust infused with zesty lemon. Inspired by European cuisine, particularly Mediterranean influences, this recipe highlights simplicity and fresh ingredients. The breading typically includes a mix of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and herbs, while the chicken may be marinated in a lemon juice blend for enhanced citrusy brightness. This dish offers a good source of lean protein and vitamin C from the lemon, promoting muscle repair and immune support. However, if fried or served with buttery additions, it may be higher in saturated fats and calories. For a lighter version, consider baking the chicken and using whole-grain breadcrumbs. Lemon Breaded Chicken pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables or a light green salad for a balanced and satisfying meal.
