The heat chars the edges of the romaine leaves and softens the inner layers.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

4 7-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, Pecorino, or Asiago cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 garlic cloves, chopped, divided
2 large hearts of romaine, halved lengthwise
4鳀鱼鱼片用石油、排干,切碎
1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
Ingredient info: Panko is available in the Asian foods section of most supermarkets and at Asian markets.
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Season chicken with salt and pepper; place on prepared sheet. Combine cheese, panko, 2 tablespoons oil, parsley, and 1 garlic clove in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Pat panko mixture onto breasts. Roast chicken until crumbs begin to turn golden, about 10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Drizzle romaine with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with remaining 1 chopped garlic clove. Season with salt and pepper. Remove baking sheet from oven; place romaine right around chicken. Roast until chicken is cooked through and lettuce is browned at edges, about 5 minutes. Divide among plates. Top lettuce with anchovies; garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

  • My romaine was a little bit watery. Not sure if I'd bother with that part again, but the chicken was good (needed to be cooked longer, as others have noted). I might try again with some broccoli or something similar.

  • The chicken is really, really good, as well as easy. The flavors on the romaine were good, but we were not fans of the roasted lettuce. It just seemed kind of floppy and gross. I'm making it again tonight, but will whisk the dressing ingredients together and put them on raw romaine.

  • Made for the first time and was impressed. Very simple to make and results in a nice presentation. I skipped the lettuce and anchovies; instead I placed chopped green and red onions and cherry tomatoes among the chicken breasts. I also added a little grated lemon zest to the panko mixture. I think this crumb topping would go really well on a salmon filet as well.

  • Used quality chicken (Empire kosher, anti-everything brand). Did not make any mods and found very tasty. I threw some cherry tomatoes on the tray while I was at it. Used constant read thermometer to ensure chicken was perfectly done. Wound up taking longer than expected but that gave me time to make wild rice.

  • Must be me but I was not happy with this dish. Chicken was okay, romaine was not. No, I will not be making this again.

  • Awesome recipe, with some modifications. I made actual dressing from scratch instead of this deconstructed approach; then I applied it thoroughly to the romaine using a silicone brush. There were also extra bread crumbs that a sprinkled all over the romaine before roasting. I finished it briefly in the broiler to get better browning.

  • I used both parmigiano-reggiano and pecorino romano cheese in the panko topping. Made Caesar dressing and drizzled it over the Romaine. Family like it. However... the cook time (10 minutes) is not correct or my chicken breasts were bigger than average. More like 15 for chicken and 5 for lettuce.

  • This has become a go-to week night meal for us. Everyone loves it. I followed suggestions and brush some caesar dressing on the lettuce before roasting. I make a Weight Watchers version so this stays relatively lo-cal.

  • Super quick and easy and very tasty. I add anchovies, dijon, and lemon to breadcrumb mix. Also a little garlic and evoo to romaine.

  • I usually grill my Romaine with a spray of EVOO and S&P. Did the same with this. Good to kill two birds with one stone and also have a backup plan.

  • The romaine is good, but sometimes I roast broccoli heads, tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper with the chicken. It comes out kind of crunchy and browned and tastes great.

  • Great, easy and fast weeknight dinner! Like other reviewers, used Caesar dressing to brush on romaine. Also roasted baby red potatoes along with the chicken to complete the meal. One pan, no prep dishes. Don't skip the roasted romaine - it is delicious! New add to weeknight rotation.

  • Wow! My whole family loved this! Even my 5 yr old :) I followed the advice of the previous reviewers and drizzled the romaine with my fav Caesar dressing... Rather than doing the oil, garlic, anchovie thing. It was delicious! Easy enough for a weeknight...yet elegant enough for company! I'll definitely be making this again and again!

  • FABULOUS. I just made this 2 nights in a row. My husband and 1 year old both adore, and this might be the easiest thing I've ever made. I used the little frozen garlic cubes from TJ's, Italian seasoned Panko crumbs ( then omitted the parsley) and, as suggested by other commenters, just poured some of my favorite Caesar dressing over the romaine instead of the anchovy/garlic/EVOO prep. In my oven, the chicken needed an extra 5 minutes of baking time.
