Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (3–4 pieces, depending on serving size)

• Fresh garlic cloves, minced

• Freshly grated Romano cheese

• All purpose flour

• Eggs

• Extra virgin olive oil

• Fresh lemon juice and zest

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy coating. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

2. Set Up Dredging Stations: Arrange three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with a splash of water, and one with grated Romano cheese.

3. Coat the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then press into the Romano cheese until well coated.

4. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces, cooking about 5–7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Prepare the Lemon Sauce: Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same pan, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice and zest, cooking for an additional minute.

6. Serve: Plate the crispy chicken, drizzle with the lemon sauce, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
