Ingredients
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ¾ teaspoon lemon freshly grated zest, about ¼ large lemon
- 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs unseasoned
- 8 ounces chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 teaspoon olive oil mild, for rubbing on chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil mild, for frying chicken
- lemon juice fresh, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add salt, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper and lemon zest to a shallow bowl or pie plate.
- Mix with a fork until well combined and all dry seasonings are evenly moistened by the lemon zest.*
- Add the panko and mix in well, using a fork. Set aside.
- Set the chicken breast on a cutting board or a cutting mat. Cover with plastic wrap and pound into an even thickness using a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
- Dry the chicken well using paper towels, then rub with olive oil on both sides.
- Press both sides of the oiled chicken breast into the panko mix until all of the mix is on the chicken. Set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil in a cast iron pan until shimmering.
- Fry the chicken breast on both sides until the panko crust is golden-brown (about 4 minutes on each side).
- Transfer the pan with the chicken into the oven. Bake the chicken until it is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (About another 5 minutes, for a ¾-inch thick chicken breast.)
- Transfer the chicken onto a plate and let cool for 3 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with a few drops of lemon juice to taste.
Notes
- *Make sure to get all ingredients well combined with the fresh lemon zest. Having the dry seasonings moistened by the lemon zest will help them stick to the panko bread crumbs.
