Preparation Steps

Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, combine flour and Cajun seasoning. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Dip each chicken breast first in the egg mixture, then in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are well coated.

Fry the Chicken
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let them rest on paper towels to drain excess oil.
