Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless

skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup freshly grated Romano cheese

3 cloves fresh garlic

minced

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Juice and zest of 2 lemons

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow dish, place the flour, and season with salt and pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
In a third dish, combine the grated Romano cheese and minced garlic.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the cheese mixture.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, and sear each chicken breast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, drizzle with lemon juice and zest, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors!

Notes

For an extra tangy flavor, add more lemon juice or serve with a lemon wedge on the side.
