Impress your loved ones by making this DELICIOUS Crispy Chicken Costoletta
The Cheesecake Factory is one restaurant I love to go to with my family. Sometimes when I crave this dish, Crispy Chicken Costoletta with Lemon Sauce, it’s just not possible to go out or maybe that week it is best to stay home and save a few extra bucks. This knock off recipe is one that I have perfected over time and in my families own words, “I cant tell the difference between the restaurants and yours, its great!” Feeling proud, I just may have to take on another one of their famous dishes to create in the future.
The chicken is so crispy and the sauce with the perfect lemony tang creates a dish that is sure to be enjoyed. Drizzle that beautiful sauce right over the lightly steamed asparagus. Don’t forget the Gouda Smashed Potatoes over to the side which I also drowned in lemon sauce, Yum Yum Yummy is all I have to say.
My kitchen is always a bit of a mess after this dish, but who cares when the end result is this delicious. So, if your looking for a restaurant quality meal to serve your family or impress loved ones, I highly recommend you try this recipe for Crispy Chicken Costeletta today.
A RESTAURANT QUALITY MEAL AT HOME!

Does it have to be olive oil to cook the chicken? Or can it be regular vegetable oil?
David, Vegetable oil works great too 🙂
Can the sauce be made ahead? I want to prepare this dish for our large family gathering, but only have a limited time between when we’ll return home from church & when I need to serve the food.
Amanda, I don’t see why not, I reheat mine with leftovers and it taste great!
Thanks! I’m looking forward to making & serving this!
Have you tried making the sauce with milk instead of whipping cream? Would it still come out OK?
Amanda I have not, I would assume it would work just fine though.
Just had to say… Yum yum yum!
This had always been my favorite at “The Factory” and now it’s my favorite at home. Thanks so much.
