Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 lemons (juice and zest)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Creating Lemon Chicken Romano is straightforward when you follow these steps:

  1. Prep Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them gently to an even thickness.
  2. Set Up Dipping Stations: In one bowl, place the flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, place the beaten eggs. In a third bowl, add the grated Romano cheese.
  3. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the eggs, and finally into the Romano cheese, pressing gently to adhere the cheese.
  4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  5. Cook Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
  6. Make Lemon Sauce: In the same skillet, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chicken broth. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Simmer: Let the sauce simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Return Chicken: Add the chicken back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
  9. Garnish: Remove from heat, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
  10. Serve: Serve each chicken breast drizzled with the lemon sauce, ensuring to include the cheesy crust.

With these clear steps, your Lemon Chicken Romano will turn out perfectly delicious without the fuss!
