Chicken Preparation

Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

Bread the Chicken
Coat each chicken breast in flour, shake off excess, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere.
- 4
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts and fry for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
