Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 whole Romaine hearts
• 0.5 cup Caesar dressing
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 0.25 cup Shaved Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder; one with beaten eggs; and one with a mixture of grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip it in the beaten eggs and coat it thoroughly in the Parmesan-panko mixture.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

While the chicken bakes, prepare the romaine hearts by slicing them in half lengthwise and brushing the cut sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Place the romaine halves cut-side down on a separate baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are slightly charred but the lettuce remains crisp.

Step 8

To serve, drizzle each roasted romaine half with Caesar dressing and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Place a chicken breast on each plate alongside the roasted romaine and garnish with a lemon wedge.

Step 10

Enjoy your Parmesan Chicken with Caesar Roasted Romaine!
