  • Coat one side of each chicken thigh with mayo.
  • Working with one thigh at a time, firmly press mayo-coated side into panko mixture to adhere.

  • Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until fork-tender, 10-12 min.

If you've opted to get chicken thighs, no need to butterfly them. Simply season with salt and pepper, then coat and cook them in the same way the recipe instructs you to coat and cook the chicken breasts.
