1
Prepare the Chicken
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook uniformly.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third.
3
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
4
Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5
Serve
Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or side.
