Panko Crusted Chicken

 A few weeks ago I went to pick up my daughter from my mother-in -laws. She is always cooking fantastic dishes. On this day she was cooking Panko crusted chicken with rice-a-roni. It looked and smelled delicious! So when I got home I was inspired to try it. It turned out great. The recipe is below. Enjoy!

* 1/2 Tsp salt
* 1/4 Tsp pepper

1. Place flour, egg and bread crumbs on separate plates.

2. Mix salt and pepper into flour.

3. Coat chicken with flour mixture, dip in egg, coat well with bread crumbs.
