Description
This recipe features crispy, golden chicken with a savory Romano cheese crust, perfect for busy weeknights or special dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
- Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix together the breadcrumbs, Romano cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
- Set up a breading station with three dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for the breadcrumb mixture.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom.
- Cook the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until cooked through.
- Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to avoid sogginess. Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
