You can put a pair of Snow Tire Chains on just the front wheels of your 2011 Lexus RX 450H AWD. We normally recommend to put the chains on the drive axle but since you have AWD you can put them on the front. It wouldn't hurt to add them to the back tires as well but it's not required.

I recommend to use Konig Self-Tension, Low-Pro Snow Chains - Diamond Pattern part # TH04115250 because they are the easiest to put on and offer superior coverage with the diamond pattern. You simply wrap the chain around the tire and tighten it down with the easy foot lever. I have attached a video for your reference.
