- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

Instructions
- Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally and pound to about half an inch thick.
- Set up a coating station: In one bowl, mix flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Place panko breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
