Za'atar Chicken Crispy Bake (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 large chicken breasts, about 1 ¼ lbs
02 -
1 teaspoon kosher salt
03 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
04 -
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
05 -
2 tablespoons za’atar
06 -
2 eggs
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 425°F and grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
02 -
Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to make 4 cutlets. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt.
03 -
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add panko breadcrumbs and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
04 -
Transfer toasted breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl and mix with za’atar until well combined.
05 -
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. Add flour to a third shallow bowl.
06 -
Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the whisked eggs, ensuring full coverage, and then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
07 -
Place the chicken cutlets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until just cooked through.
# Notes:

You can use 4 small chicken breasts (5–6 oz each) as an alternative to slicing larger ones.
