Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb. thinly sliced chicken breasts about 4 in a pack
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or canola oil
Instructions
- Scramble the egg in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Pour the 1/4 cup of oil into a cast-iron skillet (or some other large skillet) and turn on medium-low heat.
- After 1 minute, with clean hands, dip a chicken breast in the egg mixture, coating it thoroughly. Then dip it in the breadcrumb mixture, coating it well. Turn over twice in the bowl. Once well-coated, carefully place in the hot oil.
- Repeat the previous step for the other chicken, until all of them are in the pan.
- Each chicken breast should cook 3-4 minutes on each side. It will look crispy and golden brown when it's ready to flip.
- Line a plate with a paper towel. Once the chicken breasts are cooked, remove them to the lined plate. Let them cool for 1 minute before serving.
