Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 2 pieces egg
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour and cornstarch combined, the second with lightly beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs.
Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg, and finally press into the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the pan.
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small saucepan, combine sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
Brush or drizzle the chili sauce mixture over the crispy chicken breasts.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Serve immediately with rice, steamed vegetables, or your choice of side dish.
