  • onion powder
  • panko Japanese style breadcrumbs
  • Paprika

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the panko, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Place the flour in a small bowl.

  6. Carefully lay the chicken breast in the skillet using a pair of tongs to avoid oil burns (it will sizzle).
