Cooking Time: 20 minutes

• 60 g (2 oz) fresh breadcrumbs, made from country-style bread
• 75 g (3 oz) Parmesan, finely grated
• 2 spring onions (green onions), finely chopped
• finely grated rind (zest) and juice of 1/2 lemon
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• sea salt and freshly ground pepper
• 4 chicken breast fillets
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1.  Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 Fahrenheit,   gas mark 5). In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, spring onions, lemon rind, butter, salt and pepper.
2. Divide the mixture between the chicken breast and using a fork, press the mixture on top, to form an even coat.
