Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Chicken Breast
  • Salt
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs or plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp Dried Parsley
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 3 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour or any flour
  • 2 Eggs beaten
  • Vegetable or Avocado Oil
  • 1 Lemon sliced into wedges

Method
 

  1. Flatten or cut chicken breasts so they are about the same thickness throughout. Season both sides with salt.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs, parsley, black pepper, and garlic. Pour into a shallow plate or container.
  3. Place flour on a separate shallow container or plate. Pour the beaten eggs onto a separate shallow container or plate.
  4. Dredge breasts in flour on both sides, then eggs, and then bread crumbs, shaking off excess.
  5. Heat 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place chicken carefully into oil and cook until golden brown and heated to 165° F, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  6. Remove and season with salt, if needed. Serve with a lemon wedge and enjoy!
