Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions
- Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and Romano cheese until slightly thickened.
- Return cooked chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over the top. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley. Serve hot.
