Crave-Worthy Chicken Romano

A delightful Chicken Romano recipe featuring crispy, golden chicken coated in Romano cheese, perfect for any occasion.

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

  1. Prep your chicken: Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
  2. Set up your breading station: Combine flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in one bowl; whisk eggs in another; spread breadcrumbs and mix in half of Romano cheese in a third bowl.
  3. Dredge the chicken: Dip each breast in flour, egg, and then breadcrumbs, ensuring all sides are coated.
  4. Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high until ready.
  5. Cook the chicken: Place breaded chicken in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  6. Drain and rest: Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let rest a few minutes.
  7. Plate and garnish: Arrange on a serving platter, sprinkle remaining Romano cheese, and add fresh parsley.

Notes

Serve alongside arugula salad, pasta with marinara, or roasted vegetables for a delicious meal.
