Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup grated Romano cheese
- 1 piece 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
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Place the 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.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs and coat it with the cheese and lemon zest mixture.
Cooking
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
- Add the breaded chicken to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice over the chicken in the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices.
Serving
- Serve hot with your choice of sides such as rice, pasta, or a fresh salad, and consider adding steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
Notes
Make sure to season the chicken well with salt and pepper for better flavor. For extra crunch, consider double-dipping the chicken in the egg and cheese mixture. Using fresh lemon juice and zest enhances the dish's bright flavor.
