Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Oil for frying (about 1/2 cup vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; one with beaten eggs; and the last with panko breadcrumbs mixed with seasoning.
- Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, followed by pressing it into the breadcrumbs.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once hot, carefully add coated chicken pieces and fry until golden brown (5-7 minutes per side).
- Transfer the fried chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
