  4. Step 4: Heat the Oil and Butter - In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter until hot and shimmering.
  5. Step 5: Fry the Chicken - Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! - Transfer the Chicken Romano onto paper towels to drain excess oil and plate it garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
