Ingredients

  

• – 3 thinly sliced chicken breasts about 1.3 lbs
• – 2 eggs
• – 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• – 1 tsp salt
• – 1 tsp garlic powder
• – 1/4 tsp black pepper
• – 3/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
• – Olive oil enough to pan fry

Instructions

 

• In three shallow bowls, prepare the chicken dredging elements. Combine all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the first bowl. Whisk the eggs in the second bowl. Add the grated Pecorino Romano cheese to the third bowl.
• Thoroughly pat each thin chicken breast with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
• Dip each chicken breast into the seasoned flour mixture, coating both sides evenly.
• Transfer the flour-coated chicken breast to the egg wash, making sure it is coated on all sides.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and pat them with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
• Serve and enjoy!

Notes

This Crusted Chicken Romano is best served fresh. However, you can coat the chicken breasts ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to cook. To reheat leftovers, place them in the oven at 300-350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes until thoroughly warmed through.
