Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying
  • Optional toppings: lemon wedges, fresh parsley, honey mustard sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Set Up the Breading Station: In one bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  3. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Fry the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh herbs and spices for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the breading mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed. You might want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to suit your taste.
  • Thicken the Coating: If you prefer a thicker coating, you can double-dip the chicken in the buttermilk and panko mixtures.
  • Freeze Leftovers: This chicken freezes beautifully. Just let it cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
