Carrie's Crusted Chicken Romano

This is a hijack of one of my favorite dishes at the Cheesecake Factory. I'm not a star in the kitchen, so I don't know how accurate it is, but I thought it turned out tasty.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• Breadcrumbs or panko
• Romano cheese (but sometimes I use parmesan)
• Chicken breast (1 per person)
• Salt & pepper
• Olive Oil

Staging Area:

• Place some saran wrap over your cutting board. Place chicken breasts on top, spread apart a bit. Place another layer of saran wrap on top (sandwich the chicken in there!)
• In one bowl or plate, beat the egg
• In another bowl or plate, mix about 2 parts crumbs to 1 part cheese. Add in a little salt & pepper

Instructions:

• Put a large pan on the stovetop to medium heat. Add a little oil.
• Pound out chicken, then flip over and pound out more until about 1/4 inch thin (the thinner it is, the quicker it cooks).
• Dip chicken breast in egg, then roll around in cheese mix
• Drop in pan.
• Cook on both sides until done (6-10 minutes depending on thickness)

Serve with:

• Spaghetti & red sauce
• Garlic bread
• Salad

Enjoy!
