Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Prepare three separate bowls: one with flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper mixed together; one with beaten eggs; and one with a mixture of cooked rice, Panko breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any extra egg to drip off.
Press the chicken breast firmly into the rice and Panko mixture, ensuring the coating adheres evenly on all sides. Gently pat the mixture onto the chicken if necessary.
Place the coated chicken breasts on a plate and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the breading to set.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes to ensure the chicken is fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
