Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken is out of this world AND A HUGE reader favourite!

Chicken is dredged in finely grated parmesan cheese, then served in a lemon and parmesan cream sauce with a hint of garlic! This creamy chicken recipe is one of my personal favourites and I know so many people out there are loving it too! The ultimate in gourmet comfort food with a twist.

SKINLESS BONELESS CHICKEN BREASTS

For this recipe, we use breaded, juicy chicken breasts. Crispy and golden on the outside → tender on the inside → lightly simmered in a creamy sauce with so much lemon/garlic/parmesan flavour. The combination of your dreams!

Serve over anything: pasta, rice, zucchini noodles, steamed vegetables, or anything else you can think of. The light flouring including the parmesan cheese changed this Piccata inspired recipe from amazing into something else. Something impressive with double the parmesan hit.

How To Make Creamy Lemon Parmesan Chicken

  • With parmesan cheese, especially in this recipe, I use fresh and finely grated.
  • You can always grate your own on the smaller holes on a box grater, or buy it ready to use like this, and you will pretty much put it on everything. For this recipe, DO NOT use the parmesan out of a container. The flavour is completely different and too strong for this chicken.
  • Piccata normally calls for a lot of butter and oil, but in this recipe I used half the oil (olive oil) and only a quarter of the butter.

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Total: 30 mins
Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

For The Chicken:

  • 2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts halved horizontally to make 4
  • 2 tablespoons flour (all purpose or plain)
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Cracked pepper

For The Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons butter (or oil)
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 1/4 cup chicken broth (stock)
  • 1/2 cup half and half or heavy cream (or evaporated milk)
  • 1/3 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons capers (plus 2 tablespoons extra to garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (cornflour) mixed with 1 tablespoon of water
  • 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice -- juice of 1 lemon (adjust to your tastes)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and parmesan cheese. Season the chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in the flour mixture; shake off excess and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 teaspoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter has melted and pan is hot. Fry the chicken until golden on each side and cooked through and no longer pink (about 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken). Transfer onto a warm plate.
  • Add the garlic to the oil in the pan (spray with a light coating of oil if needed) and fry until fragrant (about 1 minute). Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the broth and cream. 
  • Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer; season with salt and pepper to your taste; add in the parmesan cheese and capers. Continue cooking gently for about 2 minutes until thicker. (If the sauce is too runny for your liking, add the cornstarch/water mixture into the centre of the pan and mix through fast to combine into the sauce. It will begin to thicken immediately).
  • Pour in the lemon juice, allow to simmer for a further minute to combine. Add the chicken back into the pan, allow to simmer gently in the sauce for about a minute to soak up all of the flavours in the sauce.
  • Serve with the sauce over pasta, steamed vegetables, zucchini noodles or rice. Top with extra capers to garnish, lemon slices and parsley.

    Fantastic! I add the cornstarch because I do like my sauce with a bit of thickness in it. I generally serve this with a little pasta and sautéed fresh spinach or asparagus. One of my favorite new recipes! Thanks for sharing.

    Will be making this tonite for ME but that gives me left overs for several days.
    Only problem is that I only have chicken thighs. Think it will be fine, just cook a little longer? should I pound things to make the thinner?

      The original comment was from 2020, so I’m sure Janet is not still sitting around waiting for an answer but in case anyone in 2022 and beyond still wants to know: I made this tonight and only had thighs. Thighs are the unsung heroes of the chicken world, IMO. I cooked them longer than what the recipe stated (but thighs need it and can take it). Probably about 10 minutes on each side, and they still weren’t as golden as I’d have liked … they could’ve gone a bit longer, but it just depends on the heat of your stove so don’t get hung up on minutes. I didn’t need to pound them. When spread out, they were pretty consistent. They turned out great and I’ve bookmarked this recipe as a keeper.

    I have had this recipe in my Pinterest account for quite awhile and decided to make it for dinner tonight. It was so good, husband and I both absolutely loved it. The recipe results in tender, moist and flavorful chicken with a lovely, amazing sauce. I served it over egg noodles with steamed broccoli as a side. Great recipe!

    This is so incredibly flavorful and not overly complicated to make. I’ll never need/want another chicken piccata recipe because I found the perfect one on my first try. I instantly promoted it from my “To Try” pinterest recipe board to my “Tried+True” recipe board so that I can make it again and again.

    I cook a lot and this is the very first time I am writing a review because this dish blew me away. It is so simple and absolutely delicious. I didn’t even use capers and the sauce had so much flavor. I served with green beans sauteed in butter and garlic. Next time I will splurge on noodles to soak up the saucey goodness. 100% restaurant quality. This is definitely going into my rotation. Enjoyyyy

    Made this tonight and it was delicious. The only question I have is: should the sauce be thick? Mine was very thin even after adding the corn starch/water? Would adding extra butter when browning the chicken be the culprit? Regardless it was delicious (did not add capers) and my husband is now eating his second helping!

    Hello, I wanted to make this for a large crowd and I was hoping to pop it inside the oven for a few minutes just to marry everything together. Any suggestions on how long to keep it in or would it lose any of the flavors if I did that? Also, I was hoping to make around 12 chicken breasts, would I double the recipe or triple the recipe?

    Reply
    • Karina says

      November 01, 2018 at 11:05 pm

      You will want to triple the recipe, that way you have enough sauce for all the chicken. I would not leave it in too long. It may dry out the chicken but that is a great idea to leave it on low for a few minutes.

    Cleaning off my plate as I type this…Such a delicious and easy meal. I have been looking for a yummy lemon chicken recipe and this really hit the spot. Incredibly easy—chicken was juicy with a yummy little paramesan crust and sauce was sooo satisfying. I mixed in some blanched asparagus with the sauce and served over some angel hair pasta. Definitely adding this recipe into my circle of meals! Thanks so much!

    Tip: It is quite salty with the parmasan och capers, so no need to salt extra really.

    I made this last night & served it over penne & steamed asparagus. My husband and I felt like we died and went to heaven! This has become an instant family favorite. My husband and I like lots of sauce so I doubled that part of the recipe. I had no issues with that – it turned out exactly as it was supposed to. The only problem we do have is that it’s all gone!

    You could try swapping the Parmesan for Peccorino. It is an excellent hard cheese, but it is not as strong as Parmasen so you may want to add more to compensate.

    Karina, THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE! I just made it, loved it (so did my husband). I subbed THM flour for regular flour and used heavy cream rather than milk, and it was wonderful. I do not attempt difficult recipes; the finished product looks like it must be time consuming to make, but it’s super easy and quick. This is a keeper.

I really like this with tilapia more than anything, but the chicken makes for a great inexpensive meal. I’ve made is to many times that I feel like a pro…takes me less than 29 minutes to make every time. Thank you so much!

    I have made this dish or variations of it for many years. First I do add wine instead of chicken broth or you could do half wine, half chicken broth. A dry white wine gives tremendous flavor. I would not leave out the capers. Capers are great flavor and can be eaten also. I always add more than 2 tbsps. Maybe 3 tbsps. It is a great dish for guests. My husvand loves it. I serve with noodles. Very yummy!!!

    Picatta is the only thing I ever order at an Italian restaurant, and I can’t believe how amazing this recipe tastes. I doubled it, used almond milk & powdered parmesan (I’ll buy fresh next time–this recipe’s worth it!) and ate it with spaghetti squash. I used cornstarch but wanted thicker so I ended up letting it reduce forever, next time I’ll use less water when I’m making my better-than-bouillon broth.

    Made this recipe as is, and it was amazing! I’ve never made a piccata with cream before, but that’s what sold me on this recipe, and it was the perfect sauce, especially over noodles! ?

    Thanks for sharing!

    I JUST made this recipe and it turned out FANTASTIC! I say this with sincerity! I am a 24 year old that has just been experimenting with different recipes for about a year. I was pretty nervous about this recipe because I have never done anything like this before, especially with capers, but it turned out great! I used about a pound of chicken tenderloins and heavy whipping cream. I actually forgot to dredge the chicken beforehand lol. The sauce was thinner than what I expected but delicious!
    The smell of the capers scared me for a bit, but it turned out great!

    Absolutely delicious! I made this last week and it was a huge hit! I don’t quite understand the difference between the fresh grated and the finely grated parmesain, and when to use each one. The recipe just says to add the parmesain but doesn’t say if its the fresh or the finely grated. Can you clarify? Thank you!

    Would it change the flavor a lot if you eliminated the capers? I don’t have any on hand and am wondering if it would change the flavor too much. Also, does this make enough sauce to coat the pasta well?

    Hi Karina, lovely looking recipe! I’m mad for anything involving lemon, chicken or cream sauces, so… 🙂 I have couple of questions though:

    The first oil-sprayed pan listed in the method (very first line)- I can’t see what it is used for?

    I love garlic, but is it 2 TBLSP, or teaspoons?

    Many thanks!

    • Karina says

      May 19, 2016 at 3:42 pm

      Hi Em. I spray the pan with oil for an extra coating of geese without using extra tablespoons of oil (to cut calories). But it’s fine to leave that part out and just coat the bottom of your pan with enough oil that the chicken doesn’t stick. And I believe the recipe calls for 2 tablespoons 🙂

We used the same pan for both the chicken and the sauce to give it extra flavor, we also used more lemon juice and it was AMAZING we both said it was the best chicken piccata we have ever had! We will absolutely use this recipe again, it’s love!

    I don’t understand step 4…’pour in the juice’. All of the wet ingredients were put together in step 3, so what did I miss? And does the sauce just get poured over chicken or do you add the chicken back into sauce for a few minutes?Sounds like a delicious recipe that I will be making this weekend for my DIL for Mother’s Day. Thanks!

      Hi Karen! The ‘juice’ is the lemon juice and it’s added at the end. Also, you have the option of adding the chicken back into the cream OR serving it over pasta or rice and then pouring cream over the top! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
