Crunchy Panko-Coated Chicken Breasts
  1. 1

    Pound the chicken breasts, one at a time, in a resealable plastic bag until they are about 1/2-inch thick.

  2. 2

    Lightly beat the egg in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, mix the panko crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Dip the chicken breasts in the egg to coat, then dip them in the panko mixture, pressing the chicken into the crumbs until fully covered. Place them in a single layer on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
