Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. In a shallow dish, mix together the grated Pecorino Romano cheese and flour. Dredge each chicken breast in this mixture.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side.
  5. Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a prepared baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes.
