Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by flattening the chicken tenderloins to an even thickness using a meat mallet, aiming for about ½ inch thick.
- Set up a dredging station with shallow bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for panko breadcrumbs mixed with lemon zest and Pecorino.
- Take each chicken tenderloin and dredge it first in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
- Heat a mixture of olive oil and butter in a large nonstick pan over medium heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the coated chicken tenderloins into the pan, frying each piece for about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
- While frying, sauté minced garlic in a separate saucepan in olive oil, whisk in flour, then gradually add milk, heavy cream, and chicken broth, stirring continuously.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and butter for a rich sauce.
- Plate the crispy chicken and drizzle with the creamy sauce to serve immediately.
