Ingredients

• 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Grated Romano cheese
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Lay out the chicken breasts on a cutting board and, if thick, gently pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 2

Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour combined with salt and black pepper, one with whisked eggs, and one with a mixture of Romano cheese and breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Coat each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, then dip it in the egg wash, and finally press it into the Romano cheese and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coat on all sides.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the coated chicken breasts. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 5

In a clean saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan with the garlic and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and whisk until the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Lower the heat and let the sauce thicken slightly, around 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Serve the Romano chicken hot, topped with the Parmesan cream sauce, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Optional: Pair with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
