Baked chicken fillet - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use an egg substitute for the breading mixture?

Yes! For a vegan or egg-free option, use flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water per egg) or a light milk alternative (almond, soy) to help the breadcrumbs adhere.

What’s the best way to store leftovers, and how long do they last?

Store cooled chicken fillets in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat in the oven (5–10 mins at 175°C) to maintain crispiness.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Absolutely! Swap breadcrumbs for gluten-free panko, crushed gluten-free crackers, or almond flour for a low-carb alternative.

How can I make the chicken extra crispy?

For added crunch, double-coat the fillets—dip in the egg mix and breadcrumbs twice—or spray them lightly with oil before baking.

What sides pair well with baked chicken fillets?

Try roasted veggies (broccoli, carrots), mashed cauliflower (low-carb), quinoa salad, or a simple leafy green salad with lemon dressing.

Can I freeze the breaded uncooked chicken for later?

Yes! Freeze breaded fillets on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen (add 5–10 mins) or thaw in the fridge overnight.

Is there a way to reduce sodium in this recipe?

Use low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos, and omit added salt. Herbs like garlic powder or onion powder can boost flavor without salt.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of fillets?

Yes—adjust cooking time to 25–30 mins (ensure internal temp reaches 75°C). Thighs stay juicier but may need extra breading for crispiness.
