Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken breasts: place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl or a large plate, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 4

In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and paprika.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Next, dip each floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.

Step 7

Finally, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently shake off any loose crumbs.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 10

Fry the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the breaded chicken hot, with your choice of sides or dipping sauces.
