Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes in the breadcrumb mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to retain crispiness, avoiding the microwave. You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs, and regular breadcrumbs can be used if panko is unavailable, although the texture will differ. For a lighter version, try using an air fryer.
