Look no further than Heinen’s Prepared Foods Department for a wide assortment of chef-prepared foods you can enjoy at home. Pair a prepared entree with a couple prepared sides to build a complete meal or combine a main protein with a few of Heinen’s high-quality grocery and freezer staples to minimize prep in the kitchen.
Heinen’s cooked Chicken Romano is the perfect protein for making quick meals at home. It is prepared in-house and is one of the most popular items available in the Prepared Foods Department, and it’s easy to see why!
Heinen’s chefs start with Gerber’s CARE Certified chicken breasts and hand-bread them in a combination of panko, garlic, Romano cheese and parsley. They’re then pan-fried and fully cooked, so you only need to reheat them at home.
There are countless ways to incorporate Heinen’s cooked Chicken Romano into meals at home, like serving it atop one of Heinen’s frozen pasta entrees or tucking it into a hearty hot sandwich, as I’m sharing below.
