Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the third with a mixture of Romano cheese and lemon zest.
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with the cheese mixture.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Cook the breaded chicken for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice over the chicken before transferring the skillet to the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and juices run clear.
Let rest for a few minutes, then garnish with parsley and lemon slices before serving.
