Crispy Chicken With Lemon Pecorino Flavor: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– ½ cup grated pecorino cheese
– Zest of 1 lemon
– Juice of 1 lemon
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– Olive oil, for frying
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Crispy Chicken With Lemon Pecorino Flavor can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up nicely during cooking.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In one shallow dish, place the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In a second dish, whisk the eggs until frothy. In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated pecorino, lemon zest, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
3. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour, then dip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
5. Cook the Chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the hot oil. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
6. Drain the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Prepare the Lemon Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle over the cooked chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
