Line a large cookie sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil. Season chicken breast with salt and black pepper, place on prepared sheet.

In a small bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, parsley, and 1 chopped garlic clove.
Place panko mixture onto chicken, and pat lightly. Roast chicken for about 10 minutes, until crumbs turn golden brown.
Drizzle romaine with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with the chopped garlic clove, and season with salt and pepper. Remove sheet from oven, and place romaine halves around chicken. Roast another 5 minutes, until chicken is done, and lettuce is lightly brown on the edges. Top lettuce with chopped anchovies, if desired.
