This is probably one of my kiddos favorite meals. And I can’t complain either. It is pretty tasty, and very easy to make.

This is what your chicken will look like after you have stuffed it and used toothpicks to hold it together. Don’t stress over using lots of toothpicks. It won’t be pretty, but after you coat it with Panko, you won’t even be able to tell where the toothpicks held it together.

I found it was a bit tricky to dip the chicken into the egg mixture, so after a few I gave up, and just pressed the Panko into the chicken, it stayed on pretty well because I had not patted my chicken dry, so feel free to do it this way if you run into trouble. I also opted to freeze them at the stage shown above, without the Panko, as I figured it would be easier to dip them in egg from frozen, so I will try it and let you guys know once I use a frozen one. Mostly, I skipped the rolling in Panko step because my kids needed me, and I was feeling lazy.
One more note: If you want a nice crisp Panko that browns well, try spraying a bit of cooking spray on it just prior to baking.
