Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup cornflakes, crushed
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk.
In another shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs and crushed cornflakes.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, then coat it with the breadcrumb-cornflake mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the honey glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, butter, and lime juice (if using). Heat over low heat, stirring until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle the honey glaze over the chicken just before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
