Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and wasabi paste until well combined. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
Place the all-purpose flour in a separate shallow dish. In a third shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Take each chicken breast and pat it dry with paper towels. Lightly coat it with flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off.
Spread a thin layer of the wasabi-mayo mixture onto each side of the chicken breast using the back of a spoon or a pastry brush.
Press the chicken breast into the panko breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on both sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
