Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Begin by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick. This helps the chicken cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, set up your breading station. In the first dish, place the flour mixed with salt and black pepper. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, combine the bread crumbs and grated Romano cheese.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off, then coat it in the bread crumb and Romano cheese mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the cooked chicken. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the chicken before eating.
