1 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup flour

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the dredging stations: In one shallow dish, place the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In a second dish, whisk the beaten eggs. In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Pecorino, lemon zest, garlic powder, and parsley.
Dredge the chicken: Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the egg, and then press it into the breadcrumb mixture.
Arrange the coated chicken breasts on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, at an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
