Ingredients
- 4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts Pounded to even thickness
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Large eggs Beaten
- 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- Vegetable oil For frying
Instructions
Prep the Chicken:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Set Up Coating Station:
- Place flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third bowl.
Coat the Chicken:
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Fry the Chicken:
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Serve:
- Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite sides or sauces.
Notes
- For Extra Crunch: Double-coat the chicken by dipping it in the egg and breadcrumb mixture twice.
- Baking Option: Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes for a healthier version.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
