Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken breast tenderloins
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
- 9 tablespoons canola oil
- ¾ cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank’s®), or to taste
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth. Place panko in a separate shallow bowl.
- Dip chicken in eggs, then press into panko to coat.
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 1/3 of the breaded chicken in hot oil until crust is golden and center is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining oil and breaded chicken in 2 batches.
- Return pan-fried chicken to the skillet. Pour wing sauce over chicken and sprinkle cheese on top. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- You can use chicken breasts instead of tenderloins; flatten and pound them first and increase cook time.
- You can substitute seasoned bread crumbs for panko if desired.
- You can substitute provolone cheese for mozzarella cheese if desired.

I loved the recipe!! I added a little ranch dressing to each piece of chicken in the last step where the cheese was melting. My family loved it! I may add a little blue cheese dressing next time.
No need to fat fry, a little in a pan is all that is needed, if that in a good skillet,. Cheese selection must be a good blue. Seasoned breadcrumbs better than panko. Only 2 eggs needed. Delicious.
Very good followed recipe
Delicious! Made as directed, plus added some Italian Seasoning to the Panko and poured some Ranch dressing on top of the Buffalo sauce to cut back the heat a little & add some extra flavor. Yummy!!
So good and easy to make! I used thin sliced chicken breasts so they cooked up super fast and didn’t use as many eggs. Will definitely do again!
My hubby really liked this. He went back for more. I paired this with baked sweet potatoes. I even shredded some chicken, covered it in buffalo sauce and stuffed a few sweet potatoes with the buffalo chicken mixture. I drizzled a little ranch dressing on the potato. Both were a huge hit. I followed the recipe exactly.
Awesome!Made with 2 chicken breasts. One egg plenty. Friend in skillet & when browned, transferred to oven, baking @ 350+ for 30 minutes. Added cheese at end of baking. Used 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, just right!
Family loved it. Very easy but messy to make.
Easy to make. Now if my son will eat it makes it a winner. I like easy recipes, easy to follow.
I tried this and loved it, but I went for the full Buffalo Wings experience and used crumbled bleu cheese rather than mozzarella
I made this….I expected it to be hot, but I believe the mozzerella cheese canceled out the hotness. All in all it was a great dish…Thanks for sharing!
Great recipe. Made just as the recipe was written. As other have said 6 eggs were too many. May try using the air fryer next time just to make it a little easier.
I added crumbled blue cheese at the end and let kind of soak in for a couple minutes before serving
My family loves it! Yay!
The family enjoyed it. Not spectacular, but it was easy and a nice change of pace. The 6 eggs called for were way too many. I cracked four to start and could have easily used only three. Also, I used Frank’s hot sauce and now I’m thinking there is a specific wing sauce which might have taken away a bit of the unpleasant bite.
added some Honey to the Wing Sauce for that sweet heat taste & flavor
Excellent flavor and definitely has a bite. I did not have any wing sauce, so I made my own. I will try using only 4 eggs and 1 cup of bread crumbs next time, as I had extra on both. I will definitely make again. The cheese really helps set it off by taking some of the bite out.
Whole family loved it ! I did use chicken breasts so I did the pounding instead of paying ridiculous prices for tenderized chicken.
add extra chili for that extra kick! ??
It was so easy and tasted delicious!! My son and I loved it! Definitely a keeper!!!
It turned out very good.
