Crispy Breaded Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
• Pound each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle each with some thyme and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Put the breadcrumbs, flour and eggs in 3 separate shallow dishes. Coat each piece of chicken first in the flour, shaking off any excess, and then dip into the egg and finally transfer to the breadcrumbs, pressing to coat well. Set the pieces aside on a plate.
• Working in batches, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add one piece of chicken and cook until browned and crispy, flipping once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken. Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake until hot and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place bread into a food processor and blend until crumbled. Transfer bread crumbs to a shallow bowl. Add 1 cup Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, and garlic; stir to combine.
• Press chicken breast halves into bread crumb mixture until coated; arrange on a large baking dish. Drizzle chicken with vegetable oil and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
• Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add chicken breasts. Sear, untouched, until bottoms release from the pan, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and let melt. Add panko bread crumbs. Cook and stir until breadcrumbs start to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and add parsley and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Set breading aside.
• Combine mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Spread 'glue' over the top and sides of the chicken breasts. Spoon over the the breadcrumb mixture. Use a spatula to transfer chicken breasts back to the skillet. Pour chicken broth around the chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest while you make the pan sauce.
• Pour chicken broth and lemon juice into the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat and add balsamic vinegar. Boil until sauce is reduced, about 2 minutes. Strain sauce and spoon around chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Combine breadcrumbs, cheese, basil, salt and pepper and stir together.
• Place these ingredients on a plate.
• Coat chicken with a thin layer of non-fat yogurt on each side.
• Sprinkle garlic powder, salt and pepper onto each side of chicken breast.
• Dip both sides of coated chicken into breadcrumb mixture and shake off excess.
• Place chicken in a Pam-coated pan and brown on medium-high heat for about 3 minutes on each side.
• Place breast on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping chicken half-way thru baking to ensure even browning.

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk egg; add in buttermilk and 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder; mix to combine.
• Add in chicken breasts, using hands turn to coat completely in the buttermilk.
• Refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
• In a shallow bowl combine all breading mixture together until well combined (an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9-inch square baking pan works great for this).
• Prepare two plates or a jelly-roll pan (for placing the breaded chicken on).
• Place the chicken into a colinder and allow all the buttermilk mixture to drain.
• Dredge each chicken breast into the flour mixture until completely coated; transfer to a large plate or jelly-roll pan; allow to sit for 15 minutes then lightly coat once again into the flour mixture.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (use enough oil to generously coat the bottom of your skillet).
• Fry each breast until golden brown and cooked through.
