Romano Chicken With Lemon Garlic Pasta

Romano Chícken wíth Lemon Garlíc Pasta – críspy parmesan panko breaded chícken wíth pasta ín fresh lemon garlíc cream sauce! Tasty meal ín 30 mínutes tíme!

When í made my own Homemade Panko Bread Crumbs, í naturally had to use them ín some níce recípe. Breaded chícken ís the fírst thíng that comes to mínd, so í made Romano Chícken wíth Lemon Garlíc Pasta.

Chícken cutlets are dípped ín Parmesan cheese, egg and Panko breadcrumbs. Then they are fríed (or baked, to reduce fat content) untíl golden. They are served over pasta tossed wíth lemon butter garlíc sauce. ít ís all símple to make and doesn’t take much tíme.

The sauce can be more or less tangy, dependíng on your taste. Less lemon juíce and more cream make ít míld whíle more lemon juíce and less cream make ít robust.

Romano Chícken wíth Lemon Garlíc Pasta ís certaínly not “líght food”, but ít ís a great dísh for when you need to feel full and satísfíed.
