Step-by-Step Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into cutlets and pound them gently until they're even in thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Prepare a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten egg, and one for panko mixed with Romano, parsley, and lemon zest.
- Coat each cutlet first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the panko mixture, ensuring thorough coating.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry breaded cutlets for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of each cooked cutlet, cover the skillet, and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes over low heat.
- Transfer the cutlets to a serving platter, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges, and serve immediately.

Notes
Pat dry chicken before coating and refrigerate breaded cutlets for maximum crispiness. Use a hot skillet to achieve a golden brown crust.
