The other day I shared a recipe for panko “fried” chicken — a healthier take on deep fried or pan-fried chicken. The concept of baking breaded chicken (or any other protein) instead of frying it isn’t a new one, but many people use Italian breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes as the breading. I choose to use whole wheat panko breadcrumbs instead. Panko is a Japanese breadcrumb made from bread without crusts. It has a crisper, airier texture than most types of breadcrumbs. Panko stays crisp after cooking, unlike other types of breading, which can get soggy. Panko is lower in calories, sodium, and fat and higher in fiber than regular breadcrumbs: 1/4 cup whole wheat panko (Ian’s brand): 70 calories, 0.5 g fat, 14 g carbohydrates, 2 g fiber, 3 g protein, 23 mg sodium 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs (average brand): 110 calories, 1.5 g fat, 20 g carbohydrates, 1 g fiber, 4 g protein, 220 mg sodium It’s important to p0int out that both Italian panko and Italian regular breadcrumbs are higher in sodium than plain or whole wheat varieties. You’re better off adding your own herbs and spices to reduce sodium levels. Most regular breadcrumbs have a long list of ingredients (remember, the longer the list, the more “stuff” is in there), not to mention partially hydrogenated oils (trans-fats), as opposed to panko, which generally has a shorter, more natural list of ingredients: Ian’s whole wheat panko ingredient list: Unbleached whole wheat flour, malt extract, yeast, sea salt. The average regular breadcrumb ingredient list is too long to post, but to give you an idea, it has a whopping 32 ingredients!!! I like to use panko instead of regular breadcrumbs when I make meatballs or burgers that require breadcrumbs for binding (like my edamame burgers) or to top casseroles (like my Chania moussaka).

Have you ever cooked with panko? What’s your favorite way to use it?

Note: I was not compensated to write about any of the products in the above post, and, as always, all opinions expressed are my own.

What can I put in meatloaf instead of breadcrumbs?

Crackers. Crushed-up crackers make an excellent bread crumb substitute in baked dishes like meatballs or meatloaf. The crackers work just as well as the bread crumbs to hold the meat mixture together, and using varieties like salty saltines or buttery Ritz is a great way to add an extra burst of flavor to your dish.

If you have bread around, you have bread crumbs! You can use any bread you like, including gluten-free options. Keep in mind that you’ll need to use about twice as much fresh bread, as the dried bread crumbs are more concentrated and take up less space in a measuring cup. Or, you can dry the bread first to make homemade bread crumbs . Most unsweetened cereal works well as a bread crumb substitute, but cornflakes are our favorite — especially when we’re making chicken ! Cornflakes have a delicate flavor and an ultra-crispy texture. The easiest way to turn them into crumbs is to place them into a large bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Almond Flour

Almond flour (sometimes sold as almond meal) has a coarse texture and a nutty flavor, making it a great gluten-free substitute for bread crumbs. You can use it in meatball or meatloaf mixture, but we especially like using it to dredge meats like pork chops to create a crispy exterior.

Next, try cooking with another gluten-free substitute—chestnut flour.
