1 pan
1 lid or screen that fits the pan
1 spatula or fork
1 meat thermometer
Instructions
Get boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Cut them in half so they are thin and flat, can also pound them a bit.
In one bowl, crack one egg and scramble it.
In another bowl, put the breading mix. I use a combination of matzo meal, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to make my own mix. You can make your own or use store bought.
Take one piece of chicken. Dip it in the egg so that it is thoroughly coated in egg.
Then lay it flat on the breading mixture, turn it over, and then move it around / pour more breading on top to make sure it is thoroughly coated. Then place on a separate plate.
Repeat with as many pieces of chicken as you have.
When they are ready, put oil in a pan on the stove. Make sure you have a lid or at least screen with paper towels to cover it that fits the pan.
Put the chicken in the pan. Cool on one side, then flip to the other. How long it takes will vary by thickness of chicken, breadcrumbs, how high the heat is, etc.
You can use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature is above 169°F.
When it is done, serve to a clean plate and it is ready to eat! (Just make sure to wait a bit so you don’t get burned.)
