Number of Servings:

Ingredients:

  1. 3 tablespoons - mayonnaise
  2. 1 tablespoons - Dijon mustard
  3. 6 - thinly sliced chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs.), see notes in directions
  4. 1 cups - panko bread crumbs, plus more as needed
  5. - kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  6. - extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking

Directions:

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and mustard. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat them evenly.

Pour the bread crumbs onto a sheet pan. Lay the breasts on the panko in a single layer. Flip, pressing the crumbs to adhere. If necessary, sprinkle more panko over the top to ensure the breasts are evenly coated in crumbs. Season the top side of the breasts with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil over high heat. When it shimmers, add the chicken breasts seasoned-side down, as many pieces as can fit without crowding. Season the top side with salt and pepper, and cook for 90 seconds. Flip. Cook for 90 seconds more. Transfer cooked chicken to a clean plate.

Repeat this process with the remaining breasts. I do like to wipe out the pan and start with clean oil to prevent the second batch of chicken from getting coated in burnt crumbs.

Serve immediately.

Notes about Chicken: If you are not using pre-sliced, thinly sliced chicken breasts, you will want to pound your chicken breasts to a thickness of 1/2 inch. These slightly thicker breasts will require a slightly longer cooking time: 2-3 minutes a side, and you will want to lower the heat to medium after you lay the breasts in the skillet. I like the Bell & Evans thinly sliced breasts.
