How to cook deliciously - Lemon Chicken Romano

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Stage

Lightly season each side of the chicken with salt and pepper. Add flour to a shallow dish. Whisk eggs and water together in a second dish. Combine panko bread crumbs, Romano cheese, lemon zest, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third shallow dish..

3. Stage

Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip cutlets into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, and, finally, dredge in the bread crumbs, pressing down on each side so breading sticks.

4. Stage

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add breaded chicken cutlets and cook, undisturbed, until the bottom is crispy and starts to turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip cutlets, and cook for another 2 minutes.

5. Stage

Transfer cutlets to the baking sheet, and evenly sprinkle each with mozzarella cheese.

6. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Do not overcook.

7. Stage

Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges for spritzing.
