Crisp Panko Chicken Cutlets W Recipes

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts, one at a time in a resealable freezer bag, until about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly beat egg in a shallow bowl. Combine panko crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts in egg until coated, drip off excess and dip in panko mixture. Press chicken into crumbs until fully coated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Transfer chicken to pan and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until chicken is brown, crispy and fully cooked.

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Using a mallet, gently beat the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness. (This prevents the chicken breasts from shrinking and promotes even cooking.).
• Combine the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in one bowl. Place the egg and water mixture into another. Put the Panko bread crumbs into a third bowl. Dredge chicken with seasoned flour and pass through egg mixture. Shake off excess egg. For an even crispier crust, dredge with flour again and pass through egg mixture one more time.
• Now completely cover chicken breasts with Panko crumbs, pressing crumbs down gently if needed.
• Heat oil in frying pan on medium-high heat. Cook for 4 minutes on each side (or until no longer pink inside) and serve.

CRISP PANKO CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• If the tenderloins are still attached to the chicken breasts, remove them and bread and fry them separately, or save them for another use. With a sharp knife, lightly score both sides of the chicken breasts in a checkerboard pattern. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over the breasts and pound until they're about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
• Dredge the chicken in the flour and then dip it in the beaten eggs, shaking to remove excess. Dip each piece in the flour and egg again and then coat the chicken in the panko.
• In a deep, straight-sided sauté pan, heat about 1/4 inch vegetable oil over medium high until the oil ripples and shimmers in the pan and instantly erupts into lots of bubbles when you dip a corner of a chicken breast into it. Immediately reduce the heat to medium low and fry the chicken in batches until cooked through and golden brown on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. If the oil seems to cool down too much during frying, increase the heat a little to maintain a steady bubbling action. Drain the chicken on paper towels and serve it with abundant shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together the Worcestershire, sugar, soy sauce, and ketchup. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and whisk often until reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the mustard and allspice. Cool to room temperature. The sauce will keep for one week, tightly covered in the refrigerator.

CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Butterfly and pound chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness. Combine chicken and yogurt in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss with tongs until chicken is well-coated. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes (or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours). Coat chicken with panko, patting to adhere.
• Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large straight-sided skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high until a panko crumb sizzles when tossed in. Add half of chicken; cook, rotating with tongs for even browning, until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a wire-rack-lined baking sheet; season with salt. (Remove and discard any bits of coating with a slotted spoon before cooking second batch.) Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Place greens in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with cutlets and lemon wedges.

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil; coat with cooking spray.
• Combine mayonnaise and paprika in a bowl; mix well.
• Mix panko and garlic powder together in another bowl.
• Spread mayonnaise-paprika mixture on each chicken thigh; press into panko mixture to coat. Place in the prepared baking pan; spritz thighs with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

• Dredge the chicken in the flour and then dip it in the beaten eggs, shaking to remove excess.
• Dip each piece in the flour and egg again an then coat the chicken in the panko.
• In a deep, straight sided sauté pan, heat about ¼ inch vegetable oil over medium high heat until the oil ripples and simmers in the pan and instantly erupts into lots of bubbles when you dip a corner of the chicken breast into it.
• Immediately reduce the heat to medium low and fry the chicken in batches until cooked through and golden on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
• If the oil seems to cool down to much during frying, increase the heat a little to maintain a steady bubbling action.
• Drain the chicken on paper towels and serve it with abundant shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.
• tonkatsu sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together the Worcestershire, sugar, soy sauce and ketchup.
• Bring to a simmer over medium low heat.

CRISPY PARMESAN-PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, dry mustard, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
• Beat the eggs in a separate shallow bowl.
• Combine the panko and Parmesan cheese in another shallow dish.
• Heat half the butter and half the oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat.
• When the butter is melted, coat each chicken cutlet in the flour, then the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the panko-Parmesan mixture and put it in the hot pan.
• About 3-4 chicken cutlets should fit in the pan at the same time.
• After about 2 minutes, rotate the chicken so it cooks evenly but don't flip it.
• After about 2 more minutes, flip the chicken, and do the same thing on the second side, rotating it once so the chicken cooks evenly throughout.
• Cook the rest of the chicken, adding the rest of the butter and olive oil as needed.
• Remove the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.
• While the chicken is cooking, combine the dijon mustard and honey in a small serving bowl.
• Serve the chicken with the honey mustard sauce for dipping.

CRISPY HERB-CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Put the flour in a wide, shallow bowl and season with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. In a second shallow bowl, mix the milk and egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko, oregano, rosemary and thyme with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Bread the cutlets by dredging them first in the seasoned flour, then dunking them in the egg/milk mixture and finally by pressing them into the herby breadcrumbs so they are completely coated. Set aside.
• Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the cutlets and cook until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle over the flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
