Ingredients
-
3 pounds chicken breast tenderloins
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
6 large eggs
-
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
-
9 tablespoons canola oil
-
¾ cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's®), or to taste
-
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
-
Season chicken with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
-
Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth. Place panko in a separate shallow bowl.
-
Dip chicken in eggs, then press into panko to coat.
-
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 1/3 of the breaded chicken in hot oil until crust is golden and center is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining oil and breaded chicken in 2 batches.
-
Return pan-fried chicken to the skillet. Pour wing sauce over chicken and sprinkle cheese on top. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Tips
You can use chicken breasts instead of tenderloins; flatten and pound them first and increase cook time.
You can substitute seasoned bread crumbs for panko if desired.
You can substitute provolone cheese for mozzarella cheese if desired.
