A crunchy, golden-brown classic with juicy chicken inside—perfect for sandwiches, salads, pastas, or just as-is!
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
(The fresher, the better. If they’re particularly thick, that’s perfect—we’ll be slicing them in half.)
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Breading:
• 1 ¼ cups panko bread crumbs
(These Japanese-style breadcrumbs are lighter and crunchier than regular breadcrumbs, giving the chicken that signature crispy texture.)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
(Adds umami, depth, and a little saltiness. Freshly grated is best, but pre-grated works too.)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
(Gives a mild, savory punch of flavor.)
For Dipping:
• 1 large egg
