From the corner kitchen
Lemon chicken, good crumbs
Crisp edges, bright pan sauce, and a dinner that knows exactly what it is. The crumbs catch the lemon and make the plate feel generous.

The method
Make the plate.
01
Season chicken generously and sear in a hot skillet until deeply golden. Transfer to a plate.
02
Toast breadcrumbs with garlic in the same skillet until crisp. Add lemon zest and a pinch of salt.
03
Return chicken to the pan with butter and lemon juice. Finish with parsley and the crumbs.
Kitchen margin note
Leave room for the last squeeze.
Taste before serving. The final bit of acid, salt, or crunch is usually where the meal becomes yours.
