Sometimes when it comes time to cook dinner I feel like I find myself in my own episode of Chopped. Trying to figure out what I have in my kitchen that I can use to make something that I would actually like to eat.
These days I have been so lazy and can barely make it to the grocery store once a week but I looked into my depressingly empty and pantry and refrigerator to see that I had some frozen chicken in the freezer and panko bread crumbs in the pantry. This led me to the idea of crusting the chicken.
Ingredients:
Chicken
Panko bread crumbs
Italian seasoning (to go into the panko bread crumbs)
Flour
Garlic powder (to go into the flour)
Paprika (to go into the flour)
I started out by trimming the chicken and cutting into slices.
After cutting the chicken, I created a breading station with flour (I also added paprika and garlic powder), egg, and panko bread crumbs with italian herbs mixed in as well. So I dipped the chicken in flour first, then egg, and then panko.
After breading the chicken, I preheated the oven and put a pan on the stove. I started out by searing the chicken in a pan on medium heat. This makes gives the chicken a nice crunchy crust by crisping up the crust.
After I brown the chicken, I put into the oven. The chicken comes out being moist and crispy and delicious.
