Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oil canola, vegetable or olive
  • 1 package boneless skinless chicken breasts (2 large breasts or 3 medium sized)
  • 1/4-1/3 cup dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon gluten free soy sauce I use San-J
  • 1/2 cup gluten free panko bread crumbs preferably Ian’s brand

Instructions

  • Trim and pat dry chicken.
  • Cut breasts in half lengthwise to make thinner pieces (or pound halves) and then cut them in half horizontally for smaller portions. See above photo.
  • Mix together mustard and soy in a bowl until combined.
  • Slather mixture over chicken pieces directly on the cutting board to avoid dirtying another plate.
  • Put bread crumbs on foil or parchment paper and take each piece of slathered chicken and coat with panko crumbs.
  • Heat oil on medium-high heat in the pan. Once heated, add chicken pieces in batches. For best browning results, do not crowd the pan.
  • Cook for 3 minutes on one side or until panko crumbs become browned.
  • Turn chicken and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until cooked through and browned.
  • Plate chicken and serve with your favorite sauce.

Notes

When working with raw chicken always use a separate cutting board and be sure to wash it and the counter thoroughly.  I have a dedicated cutting board for chicken.
If not following a gluten free diet, use regular soy sauce and panko crumbs.
