Ingredients
For the chicken
- 2 lbs chicken breast cutlets (about 6 thin chicken breast pieces)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
For the panko topping
- 3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs unseasoned
- 1 tbsp butter melted
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
For the Honey Drizzle
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the panko mixture by combining the panko with the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and onion powder. Pour the butter over the seasoned crumbs and mix until combined. Set aside.
- Season each side of the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Then lay them flat on a large baking sheet and spread a very thin coat of mayonnaise over the top of each chicken breast.
- Turn each chicken breast mayo side down into the crumb mixture to coat the top, then return it to the baking sheet. Spoon any remaining crumbs over the top of each chicken breast and pat to secure to the chicken.
- Bake at 425˚F for 10-15 minutes, until cooked through to an internal temp of 165˚F. The time w vary based on the thickness of your chicken.
- While the chicken cooks mix the honey with the red pepper flakes. Drizzle the honey over the chicken right before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Optional cooking method: To help keep the panko chicken extra crispy, you can place the chicken on an oven safe rack (like a metal cooling rack) on top of a baking sheet (with sides). This allows the moisture that is released from the chicken to fall away from the chicken and be caught on the pan so that it doesn't make the chicken or crumbs soggy.
