Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Romano

  3. Dredge the Chicken by coating each piece in flour, then egg, then pressing into the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Pan-Fry the Chicken in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  5. Oven Finish the Chicken by transferring fried pieces to a baking sheet and baking at 375°F for about 10 minutes.
  6. Rest and Garnish letting chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving, topped with parsley and lemon wedges.
