Step-by-Step Instructions
- Flatten the chicken tenderloins to an even thickness using a meat mallet; pat them dry with paper towels.
- Create an assembly line for breading: one bowl with flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with panko mixed with lemon zest and grated Pecorino.
- Dredge each chicken tenderloin in flour, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat until hot.
- Fry the breaded chicken tenderloins for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- In a separate saucepan, sauté minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant, then add a tablespoon of flour to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in milk, heavy cream, and chicken broth, stirring until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and butter until incorporated.
- Plate the chicken and drizzle with the creamy lemon sauce, serving it alongside a fresh salad or over pasta.
