Coat the Chicken
Take each chicken breast and dredge it in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the whisked egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere.

Bake the Chicken
Heat the cooking oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Buffalo Sauce Coating
