Crispy, golden perfection meets sweet and tangy flair in this Panko Crusted Chicken with Honey Mustard Sauce. This quick and easy recipe transforms simple, boneless chicken breasts into a restaurant-quality dish with a crunchy panko breadcrumb coating seasoned with garlic powder and paprika.

Perfect for busy weeknight dinners or casual entertaining, this recipe delivers bold flavor and a satisfying crunch in every bite. Serve it alongside your favorite side dishes or a fresh salad for a complete, crowd-pleasing meal.
Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. This helps them cook evenly. Season both sides with half of the salt and pepper.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with garlic powder and paprika, another with beaten eggs, and the last with panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken breast into the flour, coating it lightly and shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, and finally press it into the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add one chicken breast and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the second chicken breast, adding more oil as needed.
While the chicken cooks, make the honey mustard sauce by whisking together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and the remaining salt until smooth.
Once the chicken is done cooking, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil. Let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the crispy Panko Crusted Chicken warm with a side of the honey mustard sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
