Ichimi togarashi is a common chili pepper seasoning used in Japanese noodle and grilled dishes. I of course, was looking to use this seasoning in a non-traditional way. I mixed a teaspoon of the seasoning into breadcrumbs to add some spice to my baked chicken tenders. This recipe is simple and delicious. I’m not a fan of cooking chicken tenders and cutlets in oil, and the oven was a great alternative.

Togarashi Tenders

Ingrdients

  • 1 tsp - Ichimi Togarashi seasoning
  • 1 tsp - Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp - Ground coriander powder
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 2 Large chicken breasts
  • 2 Eggs
  • Flour
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Lemon

Prepare one plate with flour, and another one with the breadcrumbs

Mix the ichimi togarashi, garlic powder, coriander powder, salt, and pepper into the breadcrumbs. If you like it spicy, add more of the chili seasoning. Since everyone has a different tolerance level with spicy foods, you’ll have to be the judge on how much to mix in.

Beat the two eggs and set them to the side

Cut the chicken breasts length-wise into strips. The strips should be from 1 to 1.5 inches wide, and about 3/4 of an inch thick. You might have to do some trimming. And save the trimmings for another dish.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

One by one, coat each chicken strip in the flour,then in the egg, and finally, in the bread crumbs. Place the chicken in an oven-safe pan coated with cooking spray.

Bake for twenty minutes.

Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the chicken strips and serve immediately.
