Preparation Steps
Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs firmly to ensure they stick.
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the Sides
While the chicken is frying, heat the cooked rice and beans. Keep them warm until serving.
Assemble the Plate
On each plate, serve the fried chicken alongside a portion of rice, beans, a flour tortilla, and a generous helping of mixed salad greens topped with your choice of dressing.
