Prepare Chicken

Season and Bread the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set up a breading station by placing flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of bread crumbs and grated Romano cheese in a third.

Coat the Chicken
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the bread crumb and cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
