Crispy Chicken With Lemon Pecorino Flavor: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 25 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– 1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
– 2 large eggs
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil for frying
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Crispy Chicken With Lemon Pecorino Flavor is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect result:

1. Prepare Chicken: Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them to an even thickness of about 1 inch using a meat mallet.

2. Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. Set Up Breading Station: In one shallow dish, place the flour. In another dish, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest. In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Pecorino cheese.

4. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, pour enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Heat over medium-high heat until hot.

6. Cook Chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the hot oil. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

7. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

8. Garnish: Sprinkle additional grated Pecorino cheese and chopped parsley over the chicken for an added touch.

9. Serve Immediately: For the best texture, serve the chicken right away while it’s still crispy.
