Directions

Prepare the Chicken
If using grilled chicken, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. For crispy fried chicken, dip the chicken breasts in flour, then beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Cook the Chicken
For grilled chicken, preheat your grill to medium-high and grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. For crispy fried chicken, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, then fry each chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
