TIPS AND FAQS

If you do not want to slice your chicken breasts yourself, you can purchase thin sliced chicken breasts in your local grocery store.

If you do not have fresh parsley or basil, you can substitute with dried.

Be sure to save some of your parmesan cheese to the side to use as a garnish for your dish. Or get creative and just add extra on the top and use all of the measured amount in your cooking.

I prefer to use fresh squeezed lemon juice for this Lemon Chicken Parmesan recipe. However, bottled will not make a major difference. If that is what you have on hand to use.
