Crusted Chicken Romano and Tomato Butter Pasta – Cheesecake Factory Copycat Recipe

Main Course, Recipes, Sides, Uncategorized ·

This Crusted Chicken Romano and Tomato Butter Pasta is my copycat version of The Cheesecake Factory classic and it’s absolutely delicious! The chicken breast is breaded and fried to crispy perfection! Paired with my Tomato Butter Pasta recipe, they are a match made in heaven!

At The Cheesecake Factory, this dish is often served with spaghetti and a light marinara sauce, but I love pairing it with my Tomato Butter Pasta, which adds a simple and flavorful complement to the crispy chicken. The tomato butter pasta is a light pasta dish that balances out the richer flavors of the Romano Romano-crusted chicken. You won’t be disappointed in this Crusted Chicken Romano Recipe, a Classic Cheesecake Factory Copycat!

As the crisp air and golden hues of autumn begin to take over, there’s no better way to welcome the season than by creating a warm and inviting Fall Harvest Tablescape. Whether you’re hosting a cozy family dinner or planning ahead for Thanksgiving, this tablescape is designed to capture the essence of fall with traditional colors and warmer fall tones. Best of all, it’s versatile enough to easily transition into Thanksgiving or even Halloween with a few simple additions.

The centerpiece is the heart of any tablescape, and for this fall-inspired setting, I started with a base of two autumn leaf garlands. The vibrant mix of warm autumn colors in the leaves sets the perfect foundation. To add depth and texture, I used ivory berries and rust-colored peonies, which provide a beautiful contrast against the rich foliage. For an extra touch of elegance, I added some leafy branches in coordinating hues.
