For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken strips in pesto for at least 30 minutes before cooking. To enhance the dish, add a splash of white wine to the skillet after sautéing the garlic, allowing it to reduce slightly before adding the chicken. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese can be used as an alternative to Romano cheese.
