Directions
Panko Chicken With Creamy Sauce, Most of us make a lot of chicken dishes. This one is quick and easy, and full of flavor. It has been created for a Ready, Set, Cook contest. It uses seven RSC ingredients two more than required, so you can omit the mushrooms if you are a non-mushroom lover. The timing is a little hard to calculate. Not counting the marinating which I did overnight once and 8 hours for another time, I found that I could make all of the rest of the recipe within 50 minutes. But I was busy for a lot of the time., I made this but skipped the mushrooms, subbed shallots for onion, made my own panko crumbs and omitted the thyme dislike! . The smoked paprika gave the chicken a nice bite. Served with short grain brown rice and topped with fresh flat leaf/Italian parsley and a salad on the side.

Remove Each Thigh Piece from Marinade and Dredge in the Panko Mixture. Transfer to a Plate. Note: Panko Breadcrumbs Are Larger and Crispier Than Regular Breadcrumbs. I Love Their Taste and Texture -- I Cut the Thighs in Half So I Can Use More Crumbs. If You Leave the Thighs Whole, You Will Probably Need Only 1 Cup of Crumbs. |
