Ingredients
2 teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup milk
1 egg
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – pounded thin
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine garlic powder, pepper, salt, paprika, bread crumbs, and flour.
In a separate dish, whisk together milk and egg.
Heat oil in an electric skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Dip chicken pieces into the milk and egg mixture, then dredge in the dry ingredient mixture until fully coated.
Fry chicken in the hot oil for about 5 minutes per side, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Use a slotted spatula to remove the chicken from the oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Pounding the chicken to an even thickness ensures even cooking throughout.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to allow the chicken to fry evenly.
Serve with dips like ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce for extra flavor.
