🛒 Ingredients

For the Chicken:

4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 cups panko breadcrumbs

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

1/3 cup honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

🍽️ Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Chicken

Pat chicken breasts dry. If very thick, slice them in half horizontally to create thinner, even pieces for faster cooking and more crunch.

2️⃣ Set Up Dredging Stations

Station 1: Combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a shallow bowl.
Station 2: Whisk eggs with milk in another bowl.
Station 3: Place panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

3️⃣ Coat the Chicken

Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
Dip in the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
Press into panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
For extra crunch, repeat the egg and panko step once more for a double layer of coating.

4️⃣ Fry or Bake the Chicken

Frying: Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Drain on paper towels.
Baking (healthier option): Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place chicken on a greased baking sheet. Spray tops lightly with cooking spray. Bake 20–25 minutes until golden and fully cooked, flipping halfway.
