Here’s a flavorful and satisfying recipe for Zesty Lemon Pecorino Crispy Chicken — juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, with a bright, cheesy kick!


Zesty Lemon Pecorino Crispy Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • ½ cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

  • ½ cup flour

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • Olive oil or melted butter (for drizzling or frying)


Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Prepare the breadcrumb coating:

    • In a bowl, combine panko, Pecorino, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

    • Optional: Add a little chopped parsley for color and freshness.

  3. Set up the dredging station:

    • Bowl 1: Flour

    • Bowl 2: Eggs beaten with lemon juice

    • Bowl 3: Panko-Pecorino mix

  4. Coat the chicken:

    • Dredge each piece in flour, then dip in the lemon-egg mixture, and finally press into the breadcrumb mix until fully coated.

  5. Bake or pan-fry:

    • For baking: Place chicken on the baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.

    • For pan-frying: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

  6. Finish and serve:

    • Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.

    • Garnish with more Pecorino and parsley if desired.
