Chicken: Use a meat mallet to flatten the chicken tenderloins to even thickness.
Set up 3 dredging stations: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the last with a mixture of bread crumbs, lemon zest, and Pecorino cheese.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Cook the tenderloins until golden and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
Sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil; sauté garlic until fragrant. Whisk in flour; gradually add milk, cream, and broth; bring to a boil; simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and butter.
Serve, with the sauce drizzled over the chicken.
