Ingredients

3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

In a small skillet, heat panko over medium heat. Stir consistently, until crumbs are toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan, cool completely.
Preheat oven to 400°. In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs and mustard. In another shallow bowl, toss toasted panko with seasonings. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat with crumb mixture.
Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake until coating is golden brown and chicken is no longer pink, 10-13 minutes.
