Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
Start by tenderizing the chicken breasts using a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
Season the Chicken
In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts.
Breading Process
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second, and bread crumbs in the third.
Coat the Chicken
First, dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Fry the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Add Lemon
Once cooked, drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken just before serving for added flavor.
Serve
Remove from the skillet, allow to rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with your choice of sides.
