How to Make Wasabi Crusted Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon wasabi powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs.
  4. Dip each chicken breast (about 1.5 lbs total) into the egg, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Dredge the egg-coated chicken in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  9. While chicken bakes, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons sake, and 1 tablespoon chicken broth.
  10. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.
  11. Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle the teriyaki sauce over it.
  12. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately with lemon rice pilaf and sesame green beans.
