Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)
– ½ cup grated Romano cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ¼ cup olive oil (for frying)
– Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Creating Chicken Romano can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Trim the chicken breasts and place them between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
2. Set Up Dredging Station: In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Romano cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. Dredge Chicken: Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
5. Cook Chicken: Carefully add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet in batches, cooking for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Drain: Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
9. Serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
