College Student Recipe Idea: Panko-Parmesan Chicken Fingers
July 22, 2009On Thursday evening, I am teaching a college cooking class, and I am preparing a recipe for Panko-Parmesan Crusted Chicken, a salad, an appetizer and a dessert. This is a great substitute for fried chicken, and it’s lower in fat while still crispy and delicious. Panko breadcrumbs are Japanese-style breadcrumbs which are coarser in texture and provide a wonderful crunch and flavor to main dishes. They are usually found in a box in most grocery stores where breadcrumbs are sold.

Are the amounts of Panko and parmesan correct on this recipe. The Panko says "cups," which doesn't correspond with 1/2? Should it be 1 and 1/2?
Thanks-
Betsy

It's 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup.
