Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts

Coating Mix

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Other

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons oil


Instructions

  1. Slice Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  2. Prepare Flour Seasoning: In a bowl, combine flour with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season the coating base.
  3. Beat Egg: Beat the egg in a separate bowl to use as a binding agent for the coating.
  4. Mix Panko and Parmesan: In another bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese for the crispy outer layer.
  5. Coat Chicken: First, dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko-Parmesan mixture.
  6. Heat Oil: Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, ensuring it’s hot enough before adding the chicken.
  7. Cook Chicken: Cook the chicken pieces for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, making sure the chicken is cooked through.

Notes

  • For a healthier alternative, bake the chicken at 200°C (400°F) for 18 to 20 minutes until crispy.
