Description
Crispy Malibu Chicken features tender chicken breasts coated in crunchy panko breadcrumbs and savory Parmesan cheese. Fried until golden brown, this easy chicken dinner is delicious, satisfying, and made with simple everyday ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Set up three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- In the second bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until combined.
- In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
- Coat each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the egg and milk mixture, coating both sides.
- Transfer the chicken to the Parmesan-panko mixture and press the breadcrumbs gently onto both sides until evenly coated.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil. Fry, turning as needed, until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken.
- Check that the thickest part of each chicken breast reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Rest briefly before serving.
Notes
- Press the breadcrumb mixture gently onto the chicken to help the coating adhere.
- Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
