Chicken Romano

A simple, crispy chicken dish with a bright lemon finish, featuring Romano cheese and breadcrumbs for a crunchy crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Romano cheese, grated
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up a breading station: place flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of Romano cheese and breadcrumbs in a third.
  4. Dip each chicken breast first in flour, then in the eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
  5. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  6. Fry the breaded chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  7. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
  8. Serve hot with lemon wedges.

Notes

Pound chicken to even thickness for even cooking. Use a thermometer; chicken is done at 165°F (74°C).
