Print Recipe

Crispy, zesty Lemon Chicken Romano is a restaurant-style dinner idea perfect for family nights or Sunday comfort food with a tangy twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ¾ cup Romano cheese, finely grated
  • ¾ cup breadcrumbs (Italian style)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (fresh)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish
  • Extra Romano for topping

Instructions

  1. Pound & Season Chicken: Lightly pound chicken to even thickness. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Bread It Up: Dredge each piece in flour, dip into egg, and then coat with Romano cheese mixed with breadcrumbs.
  3. Pan-Fry to Perfection: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through—about 4–5 mins per side.
  4. Make the Lemon Sauce: Remove chicken. In the same skillet, add lemon juice, chicken broth, and lemon slices. Simmer for 3–5 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Plate & Garnish: Pour sauce over chicken, sprinkle with extra Romano and chopped parsley. Serve with pasta, potatoes, or a light salad.

Notes

  • Pounding the chicken ensures even cooking.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.
