Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Grated Romano cheese
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly spray a microwave-safe dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil and lemon juice together, then brush the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
In a separate bowl, combine grated Romano cheese, breadcrumbs, and fresh parsley.
Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the chicken breasts, pressing lightly to adhere.
Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid, leaving a small vent to allow steam to escape.
Microwave on high power for 10 minutes or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.
Carefully remove the cover (watch out for hot steam) and let the chicken rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with extra chopped parsley or a wedge of lemon if desired.
