- 2 pounds (907g) chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper to garnish
Oven Instructions
Slice each chicken breast in half (or use 4 cutlets) and pound to an even thickness with a meat mallet.
Add lemon pepper, garlic salt, olive oil and bread crumbs to a zip-top bag or bowl.
Place the chicken pieces into the bag, seal and shake well to completely coat the chicken.
Add the chicken pieces to a baking dish. Sprinkle with additional lemon pepper.
Bake in a preheated 375F / 190C oven for 20-25 minutes, until fully cooked and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165F / 74C.
Air Fryer Instructions
Slice each chicken breast in half (or use 4 cutlets) and pound to an even thickness with a meat mallet.
Add lemon pepper, garlic salt, olive oil and bread crumbs to a zip-top bag or bowl.
Place the chicken pieces into the bag, seal and shake well to completely coat the chicken.
Add the chicken pieces to the air fryer basket, being careful not to overlap. Sprinkle with additional lemon pepper.
Cook at 350F / 180C for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Flip chicken over halfway through cooking time.
- Remove any excess fat from the chicken pieces.
- Slice large chicken breasts in half and pound chicken to an even thickness for even cooking.
- Don’t have a meat mallet? Wrap a can in plastic wrap and use that instead!
- Check if your lemon pepper seasoning contains salt. If it does, use garlic powder instead of garlic salt to avoid over-salting your chicken.
- Always check for doneness with a meat thermometer. The temperature should be 165F / 74C when inserted into the thickest part of chicken breasts.
- Serve immediately for the crispiest coating.
- Storage - cover leftovers in foil and keep refrigerated for up to 4 days.
