Panko Crusted Oven "Fried" Chicken
















Normally I would pan fry panko crusted chicken breasts....BUT I am trying to be healthy when I can so I opted to "oven fry" these.  This is a really simple meal.  The prep time was next to nothing which is a big plus.

4 Boneless/skinless thin sliced chicken breasts
2 Cups Panko bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
2 TBS milk
1 tsp each of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, poltry seasoning
salt
pepper
2 TBS butter, melted

Preheat oven to 425

Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.  In a large zip lock bag mix together panko bread crumbs and seasonings.  In a shallow dish wisk together egg and milk.  Dip the chicken breasts in the egg mixture.  Then place them in the bag with the panko mixture (one at a time) and shake until evenly coated.  Place in a foil lined pan.  Sprinkle with melted butter.  Place in the oven for about 25-30 minutes.

This went great with mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn.  Perfect comfort food :)
