Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 2 pieces egg
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour and cornstarch combined, the second with lightly beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg, and finally press into the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the pan.
Step 5
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 6
In a small saucepan, combine sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
Step 7
Brush or drizzle the chili sauce mixture over the crispy chicken breasts.
Step 8
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately with rice, steamed vegetables, or your choice of side dish.
