FAQ
Can I bake instead of pan-frying?
Yes! Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked through, then drizzle with lemon garlic butter.
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Absolutely! Bone-in or boneless thighs work; adjust cooking time slightly.
How do I keep the Parmesan crust crispy?
Avoid covering the skillet immediately after cooking. Serve immediately or reheat gently in a skillet rather than a microwave.
