Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cloves
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup panko bread crumbs
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, trimmed and pounded thin
½ cup canola oil
⅔ cup white sugar
½ cup water
½ cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Mix flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cloves together in a flat dish.
  • Beat eggs and lemon zest together in another flat dish. Add panko bread crumbs to a third shallow dish.
  • Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, followed by the egg mixture and the panko mixture to coat thoroughly.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Pan-fry chicken in batches until browned and no longer pink in the center, turning as needed, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • While the chicken is cooking, combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Let it start to warm.
  • Whisk lemon juice and cornstarch together in a bowl. Add to the heated syrup and whisk to combine. Slowly turn up the heat until sauce boils and thickens.
  • Pour the desired amount of sauce over each chicken breast and serve.
