Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If they are thick, butterfly them by slicing them horizontally into thinner fillets.
Step 3
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, garlic powder, and the remaining salt and pepper.
Step 4
Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg, ensuring it is evenly coated, and finally dredge it in the sesame-panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbed chicken fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan.
Step 6
Transfer the browned chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or your favorite dipping sauce.
