Step 8: Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs (seasoned with salt and pepper), and one for panko breadcrumbs.

Cooking the Chicken
Step 10: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet to about 365°F (185°C). Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side for a golden brown color.
Step 11: Once browned, transfer the chicken to an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C). Bake until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), which typically takes about 15 minutes.
