Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup black sesame seeds
- 0.25 cup white sesame seeds
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. In the third bowl, mix the black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, and panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated, and then press it into the sesame seed and breadcrumb mixture, covering all sides evenly.
Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Serve the Tuxedo Sesame Crusted Chicken with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
