Steps to Prepare Lemon Chicken Romano
- Begin by gently flattening the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ½ inch to ensure even cooking. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Create a dredging station by placing all-purpose flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in a second, and a mixture of grated Romano cheese and fresh lemon zest in a third.
- Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the cheese mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- In a large skillet, heat about ¼ cup of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
- In the same skillet, add fresh lemon juice, chicken broth, and dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it thoroughly in the sauce. Heat for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- To serve, plate the chicken and spoon the zesty sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices.

Notes
Ensure chicken breasts are evenly flattened for consistent cooking. Use fresh ingredients for superior flavor. Rest the chicken after cooking to retain moisture.
