BFF Crispy Coated Chicken

I’m in the trenches everyday with a full-time job, a working husband, and kids in school. Sometimes it is a real struggle to cook dinner and pack everyone's lunches every day.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken tenders or boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • Vegetable oil
  • Lemony Parmesan Dressing
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (ideally grated on a microplane)
  • 1 tablespoon crème fraiche
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 6 tablespoons virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  • If using chicken breast, slice into pieces about 1/2-inch thick. Pound chicken tenders or slices between two pieces of saran wrap to 1/4-inch in thickness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Get breading stations ready. Mix flour and garlic salt on a plate. Next, beat eggs in a shallow but wide bowl. Then mix together panko and parmesan in another shallow but wide bowl or plate. Put a clean plate at that end.
  • With one hand coat a piece of chicken with flour mixture and then drop into egg mixture. Pick it up, coat both sides with egg then drop into panko/cheese mixture. Using your other hand, coat both sides with panko/cheese. Set on the clean plate and continue coating the rest of the chicken.
  • Add enough vegetable oil to generously coat your frying pan (I use non-stick for this) and heat on medium high heat. Once hot, add enough chicken to fill the pan. Once the coating has turned golden brown flip each slice over. Add additional oil to make sure that the panko/cheese mixture can also brown evenly on that side. When both sides are nicely browned, remove to a plate with paper towels.
  • The chicken can be served hot or room temperature. To reheat, heat in a 350° F oven or toaster for 5 minutes or until coating sizzles.
  • Slice to serve in a green salad with Lemony Parmesan Dressing (or your favorite).
  • Pack chicken pieces into lunch boxes with a small container of ketchup.
  • Tuck pieces of chicken between two slices of your favorite toast with lettuce and tomatoes.
