Ingredients
Scale
- 8 (2-ounce) chicken tenderloins
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Zest from 1 lemon
- ¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ¼ cup milk
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Step 1- For the Chicken
Using a meat mallet, flatten the tenderloins to even thickness. Set up three bowls for dredging: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and cheese. Coat each tenderloin first in flour, then in egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture. - Step 2– Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil and butter in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary. Drain on paper towels. - Step 3– For the Sauce
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant. Whisk in flour, then gradually add milk, cream, and chicken broth. Increase heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and butter. Drizzle sauce over chicken before serving.
