Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup vegetable oil for frying
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Beat eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
- Spread flour in another dish and bread crumbs in a third dish.
- Working with one piece at a time, gently press chicken into flour to coat and shake off any excess.
- Dip into beaten eggs, then press into bread crumbs.
- Gently toss between your hands so excess bread crumbs can fall away.
- Place breaded chicken onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Pan-fry chicken in batches of 2 or 3 pieces until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
- An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Transfer cooked chicken to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven while cooking remaining chicken.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
Tips
- You can make your own bread crumbs or use store-bought crumbs. To make your own, use 3 dried pieces of bread. Crumble and add 1/2 teaspoon each of basil and thyme.
