Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Peel and grate the fresh ginger, and mince the garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, grated ginger, soy sauce, and minced garlic to make the glaze. Set aside.

Step 3

Prepare a breading station with three separate shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and black pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, coating evenly. Shake off any excess flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, ensuring the entire piece is covered. Finally, press the chicken into the panko breadcrumbs, coating it completely.

Step 6

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear each chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the breadcrumbs are golden. Work in batches if necessary, and add the remaining olive oil as needed.

Step 7

Transfer the seared chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush a generous layer of the honey ginger glaze over each chicken breast.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with steamed vegetables or rice and drizzle any remaining glaze over the top for extra flavor.
