Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rub the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mix of Romano cheese and lemon zest.
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then eggs, and finally in the cheese and lemon zest mixture.
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foamy.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour chicken broth and lemon juice around the edges of the pan.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then garnish with parsley and lemon slices before serving.
