Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, 3 tbsp chopped parsley, 2 tbsp chopped dill, and 1 tsp lemon zest. Dip each chicken breast into 2 tbsp olive oil, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
  3. Step 3: Place coated chicken in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), flipping halfway through.
  4. Step 4: While chicken bakes, make sauce: melt 2 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and remaining 1 tbsp parsley, simmering for 3 minutes until slightly thickened and fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Remove chicken from oven, let rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle with warm lemon-dill sauce and serve immediately with extra dill for garnish.
