Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Dredge the Chicken
Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

Assemble the Dish
