Lemon Chicken Romano

[heart_this] · Jan 11, 2021 · 6 Comments

Lemon Chicken Romano

Chicken coated in egg and pecorino romano cheese, fried until golden brown and served in a lemon butter sauce! Yum!

This is one of the tastiest, quickest and easiest meals around! Chicken is dredged in flour before being dipped into a mixture of egg and pecorino romano cheese and fried in butter. Garlic is added to the butter along with chicken broth and lemon and the combination of the lemon, garlic, butter and romano cheese is simply divine! I like to serve lemon chicken romano over pasta for a complete meal that’s ready in less than 30 minutes!

Chicken in a crispy golden brown pecorino romano cheese coating in a lemon butter sauce!

ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded thin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup flour (gluten-free for gluten-free)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup pecorino romano cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
directions
  1. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, dredge in the flour, shake off any excess, dip into the mixture of egg and romano cheese, shake off excess, and fry in the oil until lightly golden brown on both sides before setting aside.
  3. Add the butter to the pan and heat, over medium heat, until it sizzles before adding the garlic and red pepper flakes and cooking until fragrant, about a minute.
  4. Add the broth and lemon juice, bring to a boil and simmer until it thickens a bit, about 3 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat, mix in the butter and parsley and serve over the chicken!
Option: Replace the pecorino cheese with parmesan, or asiago, etc.
Option: Replace some or all of the broth with a dry white wine.

    Can you substitute the regular all purpose flour and use almond flour?

    Looks so yummy. I like breaded chicken but I haven’t tried putting cheese on it so this would be new to our table, though my children are not a fan of lemons I think with butter and cheese it will be complimenting. Thanks for the recipe!
