  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (more or less. I use Pepperidge Farms Italian Style)
  • 1/2 cup flour (more or less)
  • fried chicken seasoning
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  1. Heat the oven to 350°.
  2. Pat chicken breasts dry with clean towel.
  3. Beat egg in a bowl large enough to dip the breasts into.
  4. Place flour in a separate bowl large enough to dip the breasts into (or a plate).
  5. Place bread crumbs in a separate bowl large enough to dip breasts into.
  6. Place breasts on a cutting board, and place a towel under the cutting board. Beat the breasts on both sides with a meat tenderizer until they’re about 1/2″ thick.
  7. Liberally season both sides of the breasts with fried chicken seasoning.
  8. Dip breasts into flour to coat all sides, then into egg to coat all sides, then into breadcrumbs to coat all sides.
  9. Heat 1/4″ of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  10. Fry each side until lightly golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  11. Transfer breasts from frying pan to baking sheet and bake until breasts are done, about 10 minutes (or until they reach 165° on meat thermometer)
  12. Top with poultry gravy.
