Instructions
- In a Ziplock bag or pan, whisk together the buttermilk, vinegar and garlic. Add the chicken and turn to coat, then marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. 1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 cup buttermilk , 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium high heat. 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Next, create a dredging station. Combine flour and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. 1 ½ cups all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- In a second bowl, whisk the eggs and 2 tablespoons of buttermilk from marinade. 3 large eggs
- In a third bowl, add the grated Romano, salt, and pepper. 8 ounces Romano cheese, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- Remove chicken from marinade and allow excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour, thoroughly coating. Then, dip the chicken in the eggs. Next, coat the chicken in Romano cheese. Press cheese into the chicken to adhere.
- Work in batches and pan fry the chicken until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. The timing will depend on the thickness of the chicken. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165ºF.
- Remove the chicken and place onto a wire rack lined baking sheet until ready to serve. The wire rack allows any excess oil to drop off, keeping the chicken crispy until you're ready to serve it.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a side of spaghetti. 1 tablespoon freshly snipped parsley
Notes
- Make this recipe gluten-free by using all-purpose gluten free flour.
- If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, use cream and add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar per cup of cream. This is a great substitute for buttermilk.
- Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
- Please note: The calories will be lower than what is shown, since much of the dredging station and buttermilk from marinating will be thrown away.
- The calories shown are based on the recipe making 4 pieces of chicken, with 1 serving being 1 piece of chicken. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information.
