Panko Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts, one at a time in a resealable freezer bag, until about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly beat egg in a shallow bowl. Combine panko crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts in egg until coated, drip off excess and dip in panko mixture. Press chicken into crumbs until fully coated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Transfer chicken to pan and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until chicken is brown, crispy and fully cooked.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In medium bowl, beat egg and milk together; add salt.
• Lightly dust chicken with the flour.
• Immerse chicken breasts into egg/milk mixture, coating thoroughly.
• Spread Panko onto large plate or into large bowl.
• Roll breasts in Panko, coating thoroughly.
• Spray 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
• Place chicken in the pan and then spray the chicken with cooking spray.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown or internal temperature of 160 degrees F. (The time may be different depending on how thick your chicken breasts are).
• Optional: For cheese lovers, add 1/4 cup grated parmesan to panko.

Steps:

• Using a mallet, gently beat the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness. (This prevents the chicken breasts from shrinking and promotes even cooking.).
• Combine the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in one bowl. Place the egg and water mixture into another. Put the Panko bread crumbs into a third bowl. Dredge chicken with seasoned flour and pass through egg mixture. Shake off excess egg. For an even crispier crust, dredge with flour again and pass through egg mixture one more time.
• Now completely cover chicken breasts with Panko crumbs, pressing crumbs down gently if needed.
• Heat oil in frying pan on medium-high heat. Cook for 4 minutes on each side (or until no longer pink inside) and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk the egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Soak chicken pieces in egg mixture while you gather remaining ingredients. Meanwhile, in another shallow bowl combine panko with paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper, to taste. Set a rack on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Lift chicken from buttermilk, letting excess liquid drain back into the bowl, then dip into panko and turn to coat on all sides.
• Carefully place chicken in oil and cook until they are golden and crispy and cooked through, about for 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the rack to cool. Place in sealed container. Pack in a lunch box with their favorite veggies and ranch, honey mustard or barbecue sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.
• Stir together panko, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a pie plate.
• Stir together butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl, then brush all over chicken. Add chicken, 2 pieces at a time, to crumb mixture and coat evenly on both sides, pressing chicken into crumbs to help them adhere, then transfer, skin side up, to a shallow baking pan.
• Bake chicken until well browned and cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand, uncovered, 5 to 10 minutes to crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Beat eggs in a bowl. Combine cheeses, bread crumbs and spices in a separate bowl.
• Dip chicken pieces in egg, then bread crumb mixture, then egg, then bread crumb mixture again.
• Place chicken on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
• Serve over pasta with marinara sauce and mozzarella. Or place chicken on a hoagie roll with marinara and mozzarella for a Chicken Parmesan Sub. Also great for dipping with marinara or ranch.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the cooking spray. Use a whisk to be sure the ingredients are all combined well. Set aside.
• Wash the chicken drumsticks in cold water; don't dry them.
• Roll each drumstick into the crumb mixture, and carefully transfer each piece to the baking sheet. Do no discard the leftover crumbs.
• Lightly spray the drumsticks with the vegetable oil.
• Bake, loosely covered with aluminum foil for 45 minutes.
• Remove from oven. turn chicken over. and top each drumstick with some of the leftover crumb mixture. Spray once again, liberally with the vegetable oil.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven, this time uncovered for another 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine Greek yogurt, red peppers, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder in a mini food processor. Blend until smooth and refrigerate dipping sauce until ready to use.
• In a small bowl combine 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle over chicken tenders and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
• Toast panko crumbs in a skillet over medium-high heat until a golden brown color, 4 to 5 minutes. Place panko into a shallow dish. Crack egg into a separate shallow dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with panko. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Put the flour in one shallow pie plate or baking dish, the egg mixture in another, and the panko in another.
• One at a time, dredge the chicken tenders in flour to coat them lightly but evenly. Tap to release excess flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally in the panko, turning and rolling the tenders to coat evenly. This will not be messy if you use tongs, or use one hand for dipping into the dry ingredients and the other for dipping into the egg. Make sure the tenders are evenly coated. Shake off the excess crumbs. Place on a baking sheet, and chill uncovered for 15 minutes or up to a day.
• Heat a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil. When it is rippling hot, add the breaded tenders. Turn the heat down to medium, and cook for four to five minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp. Cook in batches, if necessary, so that you don't crowd the pan. Watch carefully; the panko should not blacken, but the chicken tenders should be dark brown on each side. Remove from the heat and serve.
• Advance preparation: The chicken can be breaded up to a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Place flour in a medium bowl. Crack both eggs into a similar bowl, add the water, and whisk with a fork until they take on a uniform consistency. Place panko bread crumbs in a third bowl, add adobo seasoning and rosemary, and mix. Set the bowls so the flour is on the left, the egg wash is in the center, and the bread crumbs are on the right.
• Dredge both sides of thighs in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg wash, turning over to coat both sides. Let excess drip off. Drop into bread crumbs, rolling to coat evenly. Place on the prepared baking sheet. The chicken should move from bowl to bowl in a line from left to right, with no jumps back left. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Bake thighs in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
