Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Japanese-style panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Set up a dredging station: In one bowl, mix flour and garlic powder; in another bowl, beat the eggs; in a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Coat each chicken breast by dipping it first in the flour mixture, then in the egg wash, and finally rolling it in panko until fully coated.
- For baking: Place the coated chicken on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). For frying: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
