Season the flour with some salt and pepper in a dish.
Whisk up the eggs in another bowl.
Place panko crumbs in another dish.
Trying to keep one hand for the dry ingredients and one for the wet lightly dust and cover your chicken with flour. Shake off excess then dip each piece into the egg wash and then into the panko crumbs. Flip them over and pat down with your hand so you can get a good coverage of crumbs over the chicken. Leave them on a plate or can be refrigerated for later.
