Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I begin by prepping my chicken. I slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they’re uniform for even cooking. Then, I set up a breading station with my flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls. First, I season the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. I like to get my hands a bit messy during this process; it’s all part of the fun! Coat each piece of chicken in flour, dip it in the eggs, and finally coat it generously with panko breadcrumbs. The panko gives it that fantastic crunch. I get so excited just thinking about that texture! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
