Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- oil, for greasing pan
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a large, shallow baking dish with oil.

- Pour milk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Romano cheese. Carefully dip each breast first in milk, then in breadcrumb mixture, patting lightly to firmly coat. Place breasts side by side in a single layer in pre-oiled baking dish, tucking edges under to seal.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice and garlic, and drizzle evenly over chicken. Season breasts with garlic salt and paprika, if using.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear.
