    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
