Cook
-
Ready In
- Stir water, kosher salt, and sugar together until the salt and sugar dissolve completely into a brine.
- Put chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag; pour brine into the bag with the chicken. Squeeze air from the bag and seal. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
- Mix Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; spread about 1/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Remove chicken from the brine, shake off excess liquid, and pat dry. Discard remaining brine.
- Coat chicken with olive oil. Arrange chicken atop the Parmesan cheese layer in the baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese mixture over the chicken.
- Mix garlic, margarine, and lemon juice together in a small bowl; drizzle over chicken.
- Cook chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25-30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Switch oven to broil. Sprinkle cheese over the chicken breasts.
- Heat oven's broiler. Cook chicken under the broiler until the cheese is melted and golden brown, about 5 minutes more.

I think maybe it had too much lemon juice in it, and I also found it to be really greasey. I did notice it was salty, even without the addition of extra salt. Sorry, it sounded fantastic, but ...

This was so good I will be making this again. Easy flavorful and the aroma as it cooks is out of this world. I have never had chicken breast turn out so tender and juicy before.
