Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the boneless chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; one with beaten eggs and milk; and one with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your choice of two sides.
