Description
A delightfully simple dish that blends savory flavors with a satisfying crunch, perfect for any day of the week.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crispiness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Set aside.
- Prepare three bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in eggs, and then press it into the breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Notes
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the chicken to prevent sogginess. Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness. Let the chicken rest after cooking to distribute juices.
