- Method: Frying
- Cuisine: American
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Trim excess fat from chicken breasts and slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
- Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, another with beaten eggs, and the last filled with panko breadcrumbs mixed with more seasoning.
- Dredge each chicken piece in flour, shake off excess, dip in egg, then coat generously with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Fry the breaded cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic over medium heat. Stir until it simmers slightly.
- Drizzle the honey garlic sauce over the fried cutlets before serving.
