Crispy Chicken with Zucchini Saute

This is a really nice crispy coating.  The original recipe call for Halibut but I changed it to chicken.

1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 cup panko
4 skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
3 tbsp canola oil
2 small zucchini, cut on the bias into ovals
1 cup grape tomatoes halved
1 tsp chopped garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped Italian parsley


  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Make a dredging station for the chicken: combine flour, chili powder and salt in a shallow bowl.  Beat egg with milk and Dijon in another bowl, and place panko in the third bowl.
  3. Dredge chicken first in flour, then in egg mixture and then in panko to coat.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp canola oil in a large frying pan on medium high heat.  Add chicken and fry, turning for 2 to 3 minutes or until crumbs are golden.  Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Wipe out pan and add remaining 1 tbsp canola oil and heat on medium high heat.  Add zucchini and fry for 1 minute or until just beginning to soften.  Add tomatoes and garlic; fry 1 minute longer or until they have begun to release juice.  Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley.
  6. Serve chicken over zucchini mixture
