Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
