Equipment

  • oven
  • non-stick skillet
  • baking dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces chicken breasts, boneless, skinless halved and pounded to ½-inch thickness
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • cup Romano cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon oregano, minced plus 1 teaspoon for optional garnish
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper plus more to taste
  • cup olive oil
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese, whole milk, shredded
  • ½ cup provolone cheese, shredded
  • 4 pieces lemon wedges optional, for serving
  • 2 teaspoons green onion, chopped optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the chicken cutlets on a cutting board and season all sides with the salt.
  • In a shallow dish or mixing bowl, mix the flour and egg until well combined.
  • In a separate mixing bowl or dish, combine the bread crumbs, Romano cheese, the 1 tablespoon of the oregano, the lemon zest, the garlic powder, and the ¾ teaspoon of the pepper.
  • Submerge one chicken cutlet at a time in the egg mixture, then immediately coat both sides in the bread crumb mixture. Press the coating firmly to ensure that it sticks to the chicken.
  • Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
  • Pour the olive oil into a 10-inch non-stick skillet.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, fry two of the breaded cutlets at a time until the bottom is nice and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Flip the chicken over to fry the other side, about 2 minutes.
  • Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Add the fried chicken to the prepared baking dish.
  • Repeat until all of the cutlets have been fried.
  • Top the chicken with the mozzarella and provolone cheese.
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F when tested with a meat thermometer, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Transfer the baking dish from the oven.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining oregano and the green onion, and serve.
