Ingredients

  • 4 whole chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten-free flour
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 3 Tbsp stone-ground mustard
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free panko
  • 1/4 cup corn meal
  • 1/2 cup canola oil for pan frying
  • 2 whole lemons cut into wedges
  • arugula salad optional, to top

Instructions

  • Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound it thin and even, so it nearly covers the plate. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Set up three shallow dishes: the flour; the eggs whisked with the stone-ground mustard; and the panko mixed with the corn meal.
  • Dredge each breast in flour, dip in the mustard egg wash, then press into the panko mixture to coat both sides.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken one or two pieces at a time, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Drain on a rack.
  • Serve with lemon wedges, topped with arugula salad if you like.

Notes

Next time I will also rub a little dry mustard powder on the chicken before breading.
