Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each or 170 grams)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten (about 100 grams)
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs (100 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (120 ml) for frying
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Instructions:

  1. Trim chicken breasts and pound them to an even thickness (about ½ inch).
  2. In the first shallow dish, place flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
  3. In the second dish, place beaten eggs.
  4. In the third dish, combine Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and paprika.
  5. Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess.
  6. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. Press into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
  8. Place chicken on a plate and let it rest for 30 minutes to help the coating adhere.

  11. Add chicken breasts, cooking for 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C).
  12. Transfer cooked chicken to the paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
