How to make Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken
To make this Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken recipe, you start by preheating your oven to 350 F. Then, place the chicken breasts in a well oiled baking dish. In a small bowl mix the mayonnaise with the parmesan cheese, lemon pepper, garlic powder and salt. Spread the mayo parmesan evenly over the chicken breasts. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through. (cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken breast)
To make the creamy lemon sauce melt the butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add the mince garlic and let brown for 1 – 2 minutes. Next add the lemon pepper and lemon juice to the pan. Stir until mixed through, then slowly stir in the cream. Stir the mozzarella cheese and let simmer while stirring for another 3 – 4 minutes. Add the chopped fresh dill and stir just until mixed in.
WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.
While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Recipe Notes:
- Removing as much of the liquid from the baking dish as possible around halfway through baking, will keep the parmesan chicken nice and crispy. You can gently poor off the liquid, use a spoon or baster to suck it out, or use a baking rack in your pan to keep the chicken off the bottom. Another option is to Gently move the chicken to a parchment paper lined baking sheet half way through cooking. This will help keep the breading nice and dry and crispy.
- For an extra crisp, add a little more parmesan cheese to the tops before baking. Then turn your oven to broil for the last few minutes, but watch very carefully.
- The Creamy Lemon Garlic Sauce is optional. The chicken is delicious enough to have on it’s own without the sauce. So if you’re counting calories or just don’t like cream sauce, you can easily skip it.
- This Lemon Chicken and Cream Sauce also makes a fantastic pasta, served over: Zucchini Noodles, Steamed Vegetables, Cauliflower Rice, Low Carb or Gluten Free Noodles.
- The mayonnaise and parmesan breading will work for chicken thighs as well. Using boneless thighs pounded flat, worked as well as the chicken breasts.
