I haven’t been very diligent about cooking new recipes lately, but I have recently discovered Japanese Panko Bread Crumbs. They have reinvigorated the usual pan-fried chicken dish here in my household. According to Wikipedia, they are made from bread without the crusts, so the texture is lighter.
I found some that are Italian Seasoned at Kroger, but I suppose you could season plain ones yourself.
After dredging the chicken in flour, milk, then the panko bread crumbs, I cooked it in a pan with a little olive oil until both sides were brown. Then I finished them the chicken off in the oven, at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. (Just make sure the chicken pieces aren’t too thick, or it’ll take longer.)
I served the chicken over pasta, with a little spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese. Voila, delicious chicken parmesan! No pictures…it was gobbled up that fast.
