Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 pounds chicken breasts and thighs, skinned
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup flour for dredging
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups thinly sliced onions
1 1/2 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic
8 sprigs fresh thyme
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
2 lemons

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half, and season all chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Saute the chicken pieces until golden brown. Transfer to a plate, and reserve.
  • Discard the fat from the skillet, and add the remaining olive oil. Add the onions and garlic, and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and lightly browned. Remove from heat.
  • Spread the thyme over the onions and garlic. Arrange the browned chicken pieces side by side over the onions in the skillet. Add the chicken stock.
  • Cut one lemon into thin slices, remove the seeds, and place one slice atop each piece of chicken. Cut other lemon in half and squeeze through a strainer over the chicken. Return the skillet to the heat, and bring the stock to a simmer. Cover the pot, and bake in the oven for 5 to 15 minutes, basting the chicken with the cooking liquid.

LEMON CHICKEN ROMANO

I found this recipe on the food blog, Cooking Classy. It was sort of a pain drenching the chicken in the egg mix and then in the panko mix, but fortunately I had people helping me! Delicious, and worth the work! It is helpful to freeze chicken breasts for 15 minutes so they slice easier, then lye breast flat and trim into two pieces through the thickness of the breast.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed, halved horizontally, and pounded to 1/2-inch thick
2 ounces shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese (1/2 cup)
2 ounces shredded provolone cheese (1/2 cup)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 1/2 ounces finely shredded romano cheese (1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 lemon, zest of
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
lemon slice, for serving (you can just use the one that was zested)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Sprinkle each side of the chicken cutlet lightly with salt (about 1/16 tsp per each side), let stand at room temperature 20 minutes.

  • In a shallow dish, whisk together flour and egg until smooth.
  • In a separate shallow dish, toss together Panko bread crumbs, Romano cheese, oregano, lemon zest, garlic powder and 1/4 tsp pepper.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Working with 1 chicken cutlet at a time dredge chicken in egg mixture, coating both sides and allowing excess to run off, then immediately transfer to Romano mixture and coat both sides with mixture, while pressing gently to allow crumbs to adhere. Transfer chicken to a plate and repeat process with remaining chicken cutlets.

Once oil is hot, add 2 coated chicken cutlets and fry without moving them until bottom is crispy and golden brown, about 2 minutes, then using metal tongs rotate to opposite side and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes longer.

LEMON CHICKEN ROMANO RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Lemon Chicken Romano Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by KimberlySeverino

Number Of Ingredients 14

● 2 (8oz) chicken breast
● 2 oz. mozzarella
● 2 oz. provolone
● 1 egg
● 1 tbsp. flour
● 1/2 panko bread crumbs
● 1 1/2 oz. Romano cheese
● 1 tbsp. oregano
● 2 tsp lemon zest
● 1/2 tsp garlic powder
● Salt & pepper to taste
● 2 1/2 tbsp. vegetable oil
● 2 1/2 tbsp. EVOO
● Lemon slices for decoration

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350*F. 2. Sprinkle each side of chicken lightly with salt. 3. Combine mozzarella and provolone in a bowl; set aside. 4. In a separate dish, toss together bread crumbs, Romano cheese, oregano, lemon zest, garlic powder, and ¼ tsp pepper. 5. Whisk together flour and eggs. Cover chicken breasts with flour and eggs and then coat with bread crumb mixture. 6. Transfer chicken to a plate. Pour the EVOO into a skillet and cook. 7. Place cutlets on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with cheese mixture and bake about 12 minutes. 8. Garnish with lemon slices

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice is essential for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are very thin and can easily overcook. Cook them over medium heat until they are just cooked through, or they will become dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a Parmesan cheese that is aged for at least 12 months.
  • Serve immediately: Lemon Chicken Romano is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will become dry and tough if it is left to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Lemon Chicken Romano is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Whether you serve it with pasta, rice, or vegetables, Lemon Chicken Romano is a delicious and satisfying meal.
