Preparation

Prepare the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This helps in cooking evenly.

Dredge the Chicken
Take each chicken breast, first coat it in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even layer on both sides.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. You can test the heat by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; if it sizzles, it’s ready.
