Crispy Panko Chicken Cutlets

Submitted by TasteTester

"This is a fast and easy recipe to make on a busy night. We especially like the crunch of the Panko bread crumbs. (Panko crumbs can be found in the Asian section of the supermarket.)"

 

• Ready In: 23mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 3⁄4 cup flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten with 1/3 cup water
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• vegetable oil

directions

1. Using a mallet, gently beat the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness. (This prevents the chicken breasts from shrinking and promotes even cooking.).
2. Combine the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in one bowl. Place the egg and water mixture into another. Put the Panko bread crumbs into a third bowl. Dredge chicken with seasoned flour and pass through egg mixture. Shake off excess egg. For an even crispier crust, dredge with flour again and pass through egg mixture one more time.
3. Now completely cover chicken breasts with Panko crumbs, pressing crumbs down gently if needed.
4. Heat oil in frying pan on medium-high heat. Cook for 4 minutes on each side (or until no longer pink inside) and serve.

This is definitely 5 stars and beyond! Oh boy did we enjoy the simple flavors of this chicken recipe. There is nothing that even a beginning cook could mess up with this. I just ran it through the coatings one time and that was perfect but I could see where an additional run through would use up the extras I had afterward. Served with Recipe #391028 and Recipe #234672. Delicious and will be made again by me for the family! Tagged you in Went to the Market tag game!

This was so good! Even my chicken-hater husband liked it. I double-dipped them for crispier crust.

You won't go wrong with this quick and delicious recipe. We are big fans of Panko so I just knew we would love this. The secret it not to over cook the chicken or it will be dry and tough. This recipe turned out PERFECT....tender, moist and juicy with a nice crispy coating. Perfect when you are in a hurrty. Thanks for sharing ANOTHER great recipe, TasteTester.

Excellent! Low on flour, but had some in airtight container with baking powder, baking soda and salt already mixed in. Began making cookie bars couple nights ago and realized I didn't have enough butter to continue. Didn't see how this mixture could hurt, so used as much plain flour as I had, added the seasoned flour to amount to how much needed. Came out Great! (I'm not usually much of an improvisor.)
