Crusted Chicken Romano

This copycat crusted chicken Romano proves that you don’t have to go out to enjoy these chicken tenderloins—you can prepare them at home! Breaded with a mix of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and pecorino Romano, and sautéed until deeply golden brown, these tenderloins are served with spaghetti and marinara sauce. Add sautéed zucchini or a tossed salad and some crusty garlic bread on the side.
