Breaded Chicken Limone Food

BREADED CHICKEN LIMONE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Season flour, eggs, and bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Mix cayenne pepper into the flour only. Dip each breast into flour, then into the beaten eggs, and then into the bread crumbs, coating evenly. Place onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes on each side or until brown and crispy.
• While chicken bakes, heat oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and Brussels sprouts and stir until garlic releases its fragrance and sprouts are heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the flour. Then add the water, lemon juice, drained beans, and sugar. Stir over medium heat until sauce thickens, about 8 minutes. Add additional water if sauce is too thick. Remove from the heat and stir in remaining butter, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
• Place each piece of chicken onto a serving plate. Spoon the sauce over it and garnish with chopped parsley and remaining Parmesan cheese.

LIMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season both sides of the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a deep saucepan, add the chicken and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and add the onions and garlic and cook at medium-low heat until the onions are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the yellow chile and return the chicken to the pan. Spoon some of the onions over the chicken, cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until chile sauce has completely infused the mixture and the chicken is cooked through. Add the lemon juice and cook another 10 minutes, to allow flavors to meld.

BREADED LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Butter an 11 x 7-inch or a 9-inch baking pan baking dish (if doubling the recipe to make 12 breasts, use a 13 x 9-inch pan.
• In a bowl, combine the dry breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper.
• In another bowl combine the melted butter/garlic mixture and lemon juice; whisk well to combine (if you run out of butter when dipping the breasts, which has happened to me many times, just melt about another 1/4 cup butter and add in about 1 tablespoon more of lemon juice in the microwave.
• Dip chicken in butter mixture, then roll in crumbs (patting down the crumbs into the chicken breasts).
• Roll-up chicken jelly-roll style; place seam side down in a greased baking dish drizzle with any remaining butter mixture; sprinkle with paprika if desired.
• Place a slice of cheese on top the last 10 minutes of baking if desired.
• Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked though (baking time will vary depending on how thin you pounded the chicken).
