Equipment

  • Skillet
  • 2 Bowls
  • Meat mallet or wooden spoon
  • Whisk
  • Tongs

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 cup panko
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely diced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder adjust amount to taste
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions

  • Slice your chicken breasts horizontally, as though you were going to butterfly them, but slice all the way through. Season with salt and black pepper. Place on a board or plate and cover with film. Use a meat mallet or wooden spoon to flatten.
  • Whisk the egg yolk and milk together in a bowl.
  • Combine the panko, herbs, garlic powder, salt and black pepper together in another bowl.
  • Dip the chicken into the egg yolk mixture, allow the majority to drip off, then place in the bowl with panko. Toss the chicken in the panko and press lightly so it is covered.
  • Drizzle olive oil in your skillet and use tongs to place the chicken. Fry for 3-4 minutes each side, making sure they come to an internal temperature of 165F. Cook time will vary depending upon the size and thickness of the chicken breasts.

Notes

  • Be sure to slice the chicken horizontally and then flatten with a meat mallet so you have thin fillets.
  • Adjust the amount of panko coating to taste preference.
  • If you can tolerate egg white this can be included in the egg dip also.
  • Keep the bowls of egg dip and panko dip separate and dip each piece of chicken individually so you don't end up with egg in your panko or vice-versa!
