A delightful recipe for Lemon Pecorino Crusted Chicken with a luscious Creamy Lemon Sauce. Perfectly seasoned chicken breasts coated in a crispy Pecorino Romano crust, baked to perfection, and served with a velvety lemon-infused cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Creamy Lemon Sauce:

  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Coat chicken: In a shallow dish, mix grated Pecorino Romano and flour. Dredge chicken in the mixture, pressing to coat evenly.
  4. Sear chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  5. Bake: Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  6. Make sauce: In the same skillet, sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add lemon juice, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
  7. Serve: Serve chicken topped with creamy lemon sauce and garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • You can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the chicken before serving for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
