Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice For marinating
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste Salt and Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Avocado oil or olive oil For searing
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded For topping
  • 1/2 cup Grated Romano cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, marinate the chicken breasts with lemon juice, salt, and pepper for 15 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten.
  4. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with a mixture of panko bread crumbs, grated Romano cheese, and chopped parsley.
  5. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring it’s completely coated. Next, dip it into the egg, and finally, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
Cooking
  1. Heat the avocado oil or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Sear each side of the coated chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and top each piece with mozzarella cheese.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors!

Notes

Serve with a fresh garden salad, roasted vegetables, or creamy mashed potatoes. Try a lemon wedge on the side for extra brightness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
