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
- 0 Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Lightly spray a microwave-safe dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix olive oil and lemon juice together, then brush the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine grated Romano cheese, breadcrumbs, and fresh parsley.
Step 5
Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the chicken breasts, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 6
Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid, leaving a small vent to allow steam to escape.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Carefully remove the cover (watch out for hot steam) and let the chicken rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm, garnished with extra chopped parsley or a wedge of lemon if desired.
