Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare a breading station with one bowl of flour seasoned with salt and pepper, another with beaten eggs, and a third with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder.
