About the Recipe
Ingredients
4 chicken breast halves (skinless, boneless), pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 egg, whisked
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 cup frying oil, or as needed
Preparation
Step 1
Butterfly and/or pound your chicken breasts until they are 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to your preference
Step 2
Arrange three separate shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second, pour the whisked egg. In the third, add the panko bread crumbs.
Step 3
Coat the chicken breasts in the flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
Step 4
Next, dip them into the egg, ensuring a complete coat.
Step 5
Finally, press them into the panko crumbs, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides.
Step 6
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the coated chicken into the oil. Fry until golden brown, which should take 3 or 4 minutes on each side.
Step 7
Carefully remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy!
