Tip and Tricks:

Scallions: When cooking with scallions, make it a habit to separate the white portion from the green. The white parts take better to cooking which the crunch and vibrant color of raw greens make them perfect for using as a garnish

Chicken: When you go to marinate your chicken and put the panko's mix on top, you don't have to coat the bottom side of the chicken with the breadcrumbs and mayonnaise.

Green Beans: Since you are going to be doing the green beans and chicken in the same oven, you want to make sure you keep an eye on the green beans and don't leave them in as long as the chicken. You want to only leave them in for 15-18 min. If the green beans finish before the chicken (which most likely will happen), you want to remove the green beans and place them in a hot case so they remain warm.

**DO NOT put green beans on the same tray as the chicken as the green beans should NOT touch any raw meat. If it does makes sure you throw away that piece of wash it very well.
