Equipment
- Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- Meat Mallet
Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Breading Mixture
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup butter
Instructions
- Start by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet. This helps them cook evenly.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Next, dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture then into the beaten eggs. Finally, coat them with breadcrumbs.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels to get rid of any excess butter.
- Serve your crispy chicken hot, and add a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you like.
Notes
Make sure the butter is hot before adding the chicken for the best crunch. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached 165°F for safety. Try not to overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if needed.
