For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the lemon mixture for a subtle kick. If you don't have panko bread crumbs on hand, regular bread crumbs will work just fine. You can also toast them lightly in a dry pan for added texture. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Chicken breasts can be pounded to an even thickness for more even cooking.
