Lemon Panko chicken

Delicious simple dinner plus ***Homemade Blueberry Muffins 

I didn’t have a plan or recipe so this is made to your taste so amounts are approximate.

2 medium boneless chicken breasts

Salt

Pepper 

Onion powder 

Panko breadcrumbs 

Vegetable oil

Lemon juice

Place vegetable oil in pan on medium heat. Add chicken, top with panko seasoned bread crumbs, salt and pepper.  Sauté until chicken starts to sizzle. Turn over and season accordingly.  Sauté a few minutes.  Add approximately 4 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 tablespoons water.  It will sizzle.  Move chicken around in pan.  Turn heat off and cover for ten minutes.  Top chicken with remaining lemon sauce.  Enjoy!

You can half this recipe if you are making this for two servings and use an 8” x 8” baking dish.

 In my recipe I used a 9” x 13” baking dish.  Basically guessed at amounts to our liking.

It’s a winner! Hubby had seconds!

Note:  white cheddar cheese made this casserole a WINNER!!!

8 ounces deli ham, cubed

8 oz. UnCooked wide egg noodles) cooked au’dente) and drained **

8 ounces Swiss cheese, cubed(I used white cheddar) and only used 4 oz.)**

Preheat oven to 350°.  Light grease 9x13 in. Baking dish.

Place cooked noodles in greased baking dish. Top noodles with cooked chicken and ham . (Note I used rotisserie chicken and deli Tavern  ham).**

Mix together condensed soup, milk, cheese and sour cream in a medium bowl until combined; spoon over noodle mixture in the casserole dish.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in hot butter until crumbs are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle over casserole.** I did in microwave

Instead of stove. Easier imo.

Bake 350° for approximately 30 minutes. Allow to set for 5 minutes and serve with your favorite side dish or salad.

**if you want casserole to look a little browner on top. Broil for 2 or 3 minutes on high watching carefully to not burn.
