  2. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Fry the breaded chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the chicken is fully cooked.
  5. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Chicken Romano!

Notes

For creative variations, consider swapping herbs, using garlic powder, or baking without frying for a lighter dish. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
