Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
Coating
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 1 cup Romano cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs beaten
Sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter divided
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 large lemon juiced and zested
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the grated Romano cheese.
Coat the Chicken
  1. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in the beaten eggs, and then coat with Romano cheese.
Cook the Chicken
  1. In a skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Make the Sauce
  1. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer.
  2. Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup of butter until melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in chopped parsley.
Serve
  1. Plate the chicken and drizzle the lemon sauce over the top. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
