Instructions
Creating Crusted Chicken Romano with a Crispy Crunch is a breeze when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This will help the coating adhere better.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Romano cheese, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure the coating sticks well.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
5. Fry the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
7. Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
