Fiery "Fried" Chicken

From MyRecipes 

So about 75% of the dinners I make include chicken. It's somewhat cheap, easy to cook, and I like it. I'm always looking for chicken recipes, especially quick ones! Honestly when I get home from work the last thing I want to do is spend hours in the kitchen cooking, so I tend to find recipes that I can make (start to finish) in about 30 minutes.

1 tbs chili-garlic sauce 

3 tbs pineapple juice 

4 6-ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3/4 cup bread crumbs

Kosher salt

3 tbs canola oil

Directions

1. Heat oven to 450F 

2. In a large bowl, combine the chili-garlic sauce and pineapple juice. Add the chicken and toss to coat,

3. In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt, and oil. Working with 1 piece at a time, coat the chicken in the bread crumb mixture and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining breasts. Bake until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.

I used about 3 tbs of the chili-garlic sauce, 6 tbs of pineapple-orange juice, and Panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs b/c that's what I already had in our pantry. I also cooked the chicken on 350F instead of 450F for the same amount of time. I served it with a feta tomato spinach salad with homemade garlic croutons that I made with bagels that were about to expire. I'm trying to be less wasteful with food. :)  

I think the chicken turned out pretty good. It was tasty, but I think I can make some improvements. Next time I plan on marinating the chicken in the sauce & juice mixture and then cooking at 450F like the recipes says. The Panko crumbs didn't seem to brown at all at 350F, but a higher heat should help that. I think at 450F I will only need to cook the chicken around 10 minutes, but I guess that just depends on the thickness of your the breasts. Oh and adding the oil to the crumbs works wonders! I had never tried that before and it's awesome! The crumbs stuck to the chicken with little effort!
