Ingredients
  

Lemon Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • as needed pieces Lemon wedges for serving

Equipment

  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs.
  2. Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip in the eggs, and finally coat with Romano cheese.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove chicken and set aside. In the same pan, add lemon juice and chicken broth. Simmer for a few minutes.
  5. Return chicken to the pan, coat with sauce, and garnish with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For a more intense lemon flavor, add extra lemon wedges when serving. Pair with a light salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
