    3 tbsp canola oil, divided
    1/4 cup sweet or red onions, thinly sliced
    1/4 cup sweet red peppers, chopped
    8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
    3 - 4 cloves garlic, crushed
    1 tsp dried basil

In large skillet, heat 2 tbsp oil. Cut each chicken tenderloin into 3 - 4 evenly-sized pieces. Dredge chicken in flour, place in hot skillet over medium-high heat. Fry on all sides until chicken is no longer pink inside, and is golden and crispy. Remove chicken.

Heat remaining 1 tbsp oil, (if no oil remains in cooking pan) in same skillet. Add onions and red peppers to pan. Saute until onions are soft and slightly colored. Add mushrooms; saute until mushrooms are cooked (reduced in size, with some liquid). Add garlic and seasonings; cook 1 - 2 minutes longer.

Add can of evaporated milk; heat through. Add Romano cheese, stirring until dissolved. Finally, add chicken and heat through. Sauce should thicken; otherwise reduce to desired thickness 2 - 3 minutes.
