Crunchy Savory Citrus Chicken image

This chicken dish was created for RSC #15. I gave step by step instructions but it is an extremely easy and new way to make chicken for your family or guests. If you have never coated meat with Panko I think you will be as pleasantly pleased. Flavor abounds...encased in a crunchy coating and then is drizzled with a slightly sweet lemony savory sauce. Marinating not included in prep time.

The chicken was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used regular soy sauce instead of low-sodium.
