Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup seasoned flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Lemon for squeezing

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thickness and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up your dredging stations: flour seasoned with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and a mixture of Romano cheese and breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip each chicken breast in flour, then egg wash, and finally coat with the Romano mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  5. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
  7. Finish by squeezing lemon juice over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a quick sauce, deglaze the pan with lemon juice or white wine after removing the chicken.
