“Every year here at Top Tier Catering by Texas Tech University we try to unveil a new menu item,” explains Sous Chef Marc Silvas. “Our goal is to develop an item that could be our signature dish for the year. Since its inception, [Panko-crusted Chicken] has been quite a popular menu item. The sauce adds an unexpected kick of flavor—lemony and buttery with just a hint of heat on the back of your palate. And panko is such a versatile product; we had been playing around with it in the kitchen for quite some time. It gives a unique appearance, flavor and mouthfeel to the finished product and can also hold very well for service.”

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups flour

1 tbsp. pepper

Preheat frying oil to 350°F.
Roll chicken breasts in flour to coat; shake off excess flour.
Mix cream and egg together to form egg wash. Dip chicken in wash and coat well.
