Recipe: Panko Breaded Chicken

My friend, Nicole, gave me this recipe for Panko Breaded Chicken at one of my wedding showers and it's SO yummy! So I'll share it!

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Preheat oven to: 375*

Ingredients

2 eggs

1/4 milk

2-3 C. Panko Bread Crumbs

1-2 C. all-purpose flour

 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips (or 6-8 chicken tenderloins)

1/2 tsp. pepper

Morton's Nature's Seasoning

Directions

Preheat oven to 375*F. Line a baking sheet or shallow dish with foil (makes for easy clean up!).

In 3 shallow, wide bowls fill each separately with (1) flour, (2) panko bread crumbs, and (3) beaten egg and milk.

If not already 1/4-1/2 inch thin, gently flatten or pound chicken until flat (place between sheets of wax paper) using a mallet or rolling pin. 

Coat each strip with four, then egg wash, then bread crumbs.

Place each strip on foil lined sheet leaving a little space between each one.
Sprinkle with pepper and generously with Morton's Nature's Seasoning.
Bake 20-25 minutes (flip 1/2 way through) or until fully cooked. Bread crumbs won't necessarily be browned, so be careful not to overcook.

**adding garlic to it is yummy too!

Before they went in the oven:

After - unfortunately my little kitchen timer didn't go off so these were a little over cooked, but they were still very yummy:

They're really good served by themselves, but we like to add a sauce to it. Hubster likes to eat them with a ketchup/hot sauce concoction. Ketchup is good or orange sauce/terriyaki/sweet and sour... pretty much asian inspired sauce is great!


Enjoy the yummy-ness!
