Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts — pound to about ½ inch thick for even cooking
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs — use Panko for extra crunch
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese — can be omitted for a dairy-free option
  • 2 large eggs — for binding
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder — for added flavor
  • ½ teaspoon salt — adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper — adjust to taste
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour — helps the breadcrumbs stick
  • Olive oil — for frying
  • Fresh lemon wedges — for serving
  • Parsley (optional) — for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap until they are about ½ inch thick.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and a breadcrumb mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg wash, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat about ¼ inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  5. Carefully place the breaded chicken in the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil.
  7. Serve hot with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs. To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
