1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
3 large eggs
2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Pecorino-Romano
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving, optional
Add to Shopping ListView Shopping ListIngredient Substitutions
Get Ingredients
Instruction
Place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200
degrees F.
Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise making 8 roughly equal pieces.
(They should look like large chicken tenders.)
Place one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board. Put one chicken
piece in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet.
Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center
and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick.
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
Set up a standard breading station: mix the flour, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 1
teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon freshly
ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using, if
using, in a shallow dish.
Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water in a second shallow dish.
Mix the panko, Pecorino-Romano, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, the remaining 1
teaspoon granulated garlic, the remaining 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon crushed
red pepper flakes if using, in a third shallow dish.
Dredge one piece of chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly.
Shake off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, turning to fully coat it on
both sides. Let the excess egg drip off, then press the chicken firmly into the
breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat on both sides and packing the crumbs
into any crevices. Transfer the chicken back to the baking sheet and repeat
with the remaining chicken pieces.
Line a clean baking sheet with a clean wire rack. Heat 2 tablespoons of the
unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over
medium-low heat.
Add 2 pieces of chicken and cook until the breading is golden-brown and crisp
and the chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Transfer to the clean wire rack, season with salt and hold in the oven at 200
degrees F to keep warm.
Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil and
chicken, making 4 batches in total.
Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Strawberry Ice cream
Ingredients
4 cups strawberries, hulled and diced
4 egg yolk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix strawberries, honey, sugar, and
lemon juice.
Allow to sit 15-20 minutes, or until the strawberries
have released their juices.
Mash the mixture with a potato masher, fork, or
pastry cutter until there are no longer any large
strawberry pieces (if you prefer a smooth ice
cream, use a blender or food processor instead*).
To the strawberries, mix heavy cream, half and
half, and vanilla extract.
Stir just until combined.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and
follow your manufacturer's instructions (mine took
about 15-20 minutes to churn).
You can eat the ice cream soft-serve, or freeze it in
an airtight container for 3-4 hours to thicken it up
slightly.
For best results, allow the ice cream to sit at room
temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften
before serving.
