Description
A delicious dish featuring crispy chicken breasts coated in Romano cheese and breadcrumbs, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Romano cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of 1/2 inch.
- Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Romano cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in the egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add breaded chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the browned chicken to the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Pound the chicken evenly for consistent cooking. Use fresh breadcrumbs for better texture, and feel free to tweak the seasonings.
