Ingredients

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 pounds chicken breast tenderloins
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 9 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 3/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's(R)), or to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Method

  • Sprinkle salt and black pepper over chicken breast tenderloins.
  • Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth. Place panko in a separate shallow bowl.
  • Dip both sides of each chicken breast in the eggs and then in the panko.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 1/3 of the breaded tenderloins until crusts are golden and centers are no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate. Repeat with remaining oil and breaded tenderloins in 2 batches.
  • Return all chicken to the skillet. Pour wing sauce over chicken. Sprinkle cheese on top. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
