Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Greek yogurt, red peppers, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder in a mini food processor. Blend until smooth and refrigerate dipping sauce until ready to use.
- In a small bowl combine 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle over chicken tenders and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
- Toast panko crumbs in a skillet over medium-high heat until a golden brown color, 4 to 5 minutes. Place panko into a shallow dish. Crack egg into a separate shallow dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with panko. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with the dipping sauce.

PANK-CRUSTED CHICKEN BREAST
An easy and delicious way to prepare chicken breasts. The coating is savory and full of flavor. Adding fresh thyme and lemon adds a freshness to it. The hints of citrus linger in every bite. Once fried, the crust is crisp and the chicken is tender and juicy.

Steps:
- 1. Mix the bread crumbs with the thyme, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
- 2. Place each chicken breast in a large plastic bag or, place between plastic wrap or wax paper, and pound each breast to equal thickness using either a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet.
- 3. Put some milk in one shallow dish and the bread crumbs in another.
- 4. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Next, run the breast through the milk to coat it. (Alternative: Rub the chicken breast with Dijon mustard instead of the milk.)
- 5. Lay the chicken in the bread crumbs, turn it over and press it into the breading to coat.
- 6. Lay on a piece of waxed paper.
- 7. Heat a large skillet (12 inches in diameter) over medium heat. Coat the bottom of the skillet with olive oil.
- 8. When the oil is hot, lay 2 chicken breasts in the pan. Cook the chicken without turning until beginning to brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- 9. Turn the chicken and cook until equally brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes or more depending on the thickness of the chicken breast. Repeat with the remaining 2 breasts. Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- 10. Serve with lemon wedges. *(I like to use the Japanese Panko bread crumbs. They're larger and give more of a crunch. But, any dry bread crumb will work.)

Steps:
- Using a mallet, gently beat the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness. (This prevents the chicken breasts from shrinking and promotes even cooking.).

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.

PARMESAN & PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN
This recipe was adapted from the recipe I found on the back of a Best Food Mayonaise jar. The mayonaise helps provide a moist piece of chicken and helps adhere the panko and cheese to the chicken. Feel free to add more/less of italian seasoning/garlic powder to taste. We are huge fans of garlic so I up the quantity used for our household.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt & pepper.
- Mix panko crumbs with the chopped Pecans.
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in an oven proof skillet (that will be large enough to accommodate the 4 breasts) & melt butter over low heat.
- Paint the breasts with the butter and coat them with the panko/nut mixture.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat and put in the breasts
- Sauté the chicken until brown on the bottom, flip breasts and place the skillet in the preheated 400°F oven.
- Bake until the breasts are done approx 18 minutes, depending on the size of the breasts.
- Remove chicken to a platter and keep warm.
- Remove any bits & pieces from the skillet.
- Add remaining 2 tbsp butter to the skillet & sauté the shallots approx 1 minute, add the broth approx 1 minute.
- Add parsley.
- Drizzle sauce over the chicken & serve.
Tips:
- Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or even a heavy skillet to pound the chicken breasts.
- Make sure the chicken breasts are completely dry before coating them in the panko breadcrumbs. This will help the breadcrumbs adhere to the chicken and create a crispy crust.
- Use a light touch when coating the chicken breasts in the panko breadcrumbs. Pressing too hard will crush the breadcrumbs and make them less crispy.
- Bake the chicken breasts on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This will allow the air to circulate around the chicken breasts and help them cook evenly.
- Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Panko-crusted chicken breast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The crispy panko crust adds a delicious crunch to the tender chicken breasts, and the flavorful breadcrumb mixture adds a savory touch. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad, for a complete meal that the whole family will enjoy.
