TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.
We eat a lot of chicken for dinner, so I'm always trying to do something a little different with it. My children love the crispiness of this chicken, and my husband and I love the flavorful relish—you can't go wrong with bacon! —Elisabeth Larsen, Pleasant Grove, Utah

1 cup panko bread crumbs

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme, divided

1.
Preheat oven to 425°. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs, 2 Tbsp. thyme, and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Place flour and egg in separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in flour; shake off excess. Dip in egg, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere. Place chicken on a greased rack in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake until a thermometer reads 165°, about 15 minutes.
