That’s what I call a winner winner chicken dinner! If you have ordered this dish from the Cheesecake Factory you know their Crusted Chicken Romano is a thin chicken breast that is coated in a crispy Parmesan and Romano crust that’s served with spaghetti noodles tossed in a light tomato sauce. This Chicken Romano recipe is a lot like our Crispy Chicken Parmesan except that the dominating flavor profile is the more robust Romano cheese. It’s full of real romano cheese flavor. Some recipes only use parmesan cheese but to make it like the Cheesecake Factory recipe it needs romano. The ratio of panko to cheese in this recipe produced the best imitation of the crust found on the Chicken Romano at the Cheesecake Factory. Using only cheese produced a chewy not so crunchy exterior.

It was missing the light crispiness that panko provides. The breadcrumbs are definitely necessary for producing a spot-on copycat. This recipe works best with white meat chicken. Romano cheese: Sometimes called Pecorino Romano cheese. Parmesan cheese: Just a touch rounds out the flavor profile. Panko bread crumbs: This specific type of breadcrumb is what produced a similar crust to the one at the Cheesecake Factory. Regular breadcrumbs do not have the same texture.
