Lemon Chicken Romano

Print Recipe

A simple, breaded chicken dish with a crisp crust, vibrant lemon flavor, and Romano cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated Romano cheese
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Place flour in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs, and in a third shallow dish, combine the Romano cheese and lemon zest.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with cheese and lemon zest mixture.
  5. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add butter and let melt.
  6. Add breaded chicken to skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  7. Pour chicken broth and lemon juice over chicken in skillet.
  8. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
  9. Remove chicken from oven, let rest for a few minutes, and garnish with parsley and lemon slices.

Notes

Pound thicker chicken breasts for even cooking, and use fresh lemon for best flavor. Allow pan juices to soak in for added taste.
