Can you use panko without eggs?

The panko breaded chicken without eggs needs a relatively short time in the oven, not enough time for the breadcrumbs to become golden and crispy. To help with this process, I pan fry the panko breadcrumbs for a few minutes before coating the breasts with the crumbs.

Why use a breading without eggs?

Maybe you forgot to buy some?

Usually, I would use an egg mixture to bread meat or schnitzel of any sort. However, this time I used yogurt. And I loved it! The yogurt makes the chicken breast even juicier, and I find it easier to use than eggs. If you notice that you need some more, it is enough to add ½-1 tablespoon to the plate, you don’t need to beat a whole new egg for the last piece of meat. But if you do want to use eggs, make the Crispy Panko Breaded Chicken.

Recipe ingredients

Chicken:

Boneless, skinless breasts weighing about 130 g/ 4.5 oz each.

If they are smaller or larger, you will have to adjust the baking time accordingly.

Panko breadcrumbs:

They are Japanese-style breadcrumbs made from white bread without a crust. The flakes are larger and that makes the crust of any fried or baked food crispier and crunchier than it would be if you used regular breadcrumbs. Panko can be bought seasoned or unseasoned. You can choose the seasoned ones and leave out most of the spices in this recipe. However, I never use those. I always use unseasoned breadcrumbs and add the spices I like.

Yogurt:

I use low-fat creamy yogurt (Greek style) for the panko breaded chicken without egg, 1 tablespoon per piece should be enough.

Parmesan cheese:

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese. If using pre-grated and measuring that in cups, you might need less than ¼ cup as it has less volume than freshly grated cheese. Spices: Oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, fine sea salt or Kosher salt, ground black pepper.

Other ingredients: All-purpose flour, olive or vegetable oil, cooking spray.

Step-by-step instructions

Roast panko

The panko breaded chicken without eggs needs a relatively short time in the oven, not enough time for the breadcrumbs to become golden and crispy. To help with this process, I pan fry the panko breadcrumbs for a few minutes before coating the breasts with the crumbs. Stove top: Heat the oil in a large frying pan. The oil should be really hot (but not smoking) when you place panko into the pan. Fry on medium heat, stirring almost continuously, for about 2 minutes until golden. Immediately, transfer panko to a large container (like a baking dish or large shallow bowl) and let cool completely while you prepare the rest (1) . Heat the oil in a large frying pan. The oil should be really hot (but not smoking) when you place panko into the pan. Oven method: Preheat the oven to 210°C/ 410°F. Place the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Level well. Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until nicely golden, stirring once and leveling again after about 3 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 210°C/ 410°F.

I prefer the stovetop version because it is faster.

Recipe FAQ

Where can I find panko? Online or in the grocery store. They are usually stored on the shelves with the other breadcrumbs or where the Asian food is. Can I use other chicken cuts? Boneless, skinless thighs: Cut them into 2-3 pieces (depending on their size), bread them and bake them as instructed. They will need a few more minutes of cooking time; check that they are cooked through. Chicken tenderloin (tenders) or similar smaller chicken cutlets: They will be ready even faster than the breast. Can I fry the breasts in a pan? Heat about 1/2 cm/ 1/4 inch oil in a large, slightly deeper frying. The oil should be hot but not smoking. Fry the pieces in two batches for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. How to check if the meat is cooked through? The best way is to use a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should be 165°F/ 72°C (Amazon affiliate link). Otherwise cut a piece in the middle, the meat should be white, and there is no pink allowed. How to store and reheat? Refrigerate for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

Reheat leftovers in a skillet or in the oven.

You can also serve the leftovers cold, they are the perfect cut for a delicious sandwich.

How to serve?

Serve the baked panko chicken breasts immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (bbq sauce, marinara sauce, honey mustard, or honey lime sauce) or other side dishes. We love having this dish with chili sauce potato wedges, vegan couscous salad, spinach potato mash, or Nigerian Jollof rice.
