Panko Breaded Chicken

Considering we made enough Red Beans and Rice to feed a small army last night, we are eating leftovers!! I know, I know what kind of wife feeds their wellfed newlywed leftovers? Well, this one does!! But if your looking for something quick and easy to make, you can always take this easy recipe for chicken and put your own spin on it. By adding different spices to the breading or having it with different sides you can have a great dinner without alot of work, or having to deal with any leftovers.

All you need is a grill pan for the chicken.

Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Yields: 2 Servings


INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 1/4 Cup Flour
• 1 Egg slightly beaten
• 1 Cup Panko Flakes (found in the oriental section of the grocery store)
• 2 TBSP Dried Rosemary
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1 TBSP EVOO

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Create a dredging station with 3 plates or tupperware dishes, One for the flour, one for the egg wash (beaten egg with 1 TBSP water), and one for the Panko flakes with rosemary (or whatever herb you choose).  Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken, start in the flour and coat both sides, next, drop in the egg wash and coat both sides, then into the panko mixture (repeat for both chicken breasts).

Heat up the EVOO on med-high heat and pan fry both sides of the chicken until golden brown (approx. 5-7 minutes a side). Grease a baking sheet and move chicken to oven until cooked thoroughly (12-15 minutes) or chicken registers 160 degrees in the middle.

TO SERVE:
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and sides (so easy and yummy).
