Name: Crunchy Baked Chicken Breasts
Ingredients: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts; Jerry's dry rub (without hot spices); Eggs, for egg wash; Flour for dredging; Cayenne pepper; Panko breadcrumbs; Thyme; Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Set up stations for flour, egg wash, and panko breadcrumbs.

Wash the chicken breasts and pat them dry, then pound them slightly to even out the thickness.

Apply the dry rub mixture to the chicken and press it in.

Dredge the chicken in the flour (blended with cayenne pepper), shaking off the excess.

Dip the chicken in the egg wash, draining off the excess.

Apply the panko breadcrumbs (blended with thyme) generously, pressing them onto the chicken.

Let the breaded chicken breasts sit for 15 minutes.

Sauté the breasts on medium heat for 2 minutes per side.

Place the breasts on a baking sheet with a wire rack.

Bake for 15 minutes on each side.

Check for doneness and adjust seasoning if needed.

Note: Chicken strips will take less time to bake, depending on their thickness.
