Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped For garnish
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil For frying
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Romano cheese, grated

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper together.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg with the lemon zest until well combined.
  4. Take each chicken breast and dip it into the flour mixture, fully coating it. Then, coat it in the egg mixture and finally roll it in the bread crumbs until well-covered.
Cooking
  1. Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring it’s hot before adding the chicken.
  2. Cook each chicken breast for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
  3. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Top each piece with mozzarella and Romano cheese.
  4. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving to elevate your presentation.

Notes

For extra crunch, double coat the chicken by repeating the flour and egg steps before rolling in breadcrumbs. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
