Ingredients

Scale

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (pounded thin)

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup milk

1 egg

1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Pound chicken breasts to a uniform half-inch thickness.

2. In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.

4. Heat oil in a skillet to three hundred fifty Fahrenheit.

5. Dip chicken into the egg wash, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture.

6. Fry chicken for 5 minutes per side until golden brown and juices run clear.

7. Transfer to a wire rack to drain and rest before serving.

Notes

Rest the breaded chicken for 5 minutes before frying to help the crust stick.

Use a wire rack instead of paper towels to keep the bottom crispy.

Ensure the oil is at three hundred fifty Fahrenheit to prevent greasiness.
