Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 pieces eggs
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 2 pieces ripe avocados
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one containing the flour, one with the eggs whisked until smooth, and one containing a mixture of breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.

Step 4

Coat each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat in the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 6

While the chicken rests, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and slice into thin strips. Drizzle lemon juice over the avocado slices to prevent browning.

Step 7

Plate the breaded chicken and top or serve alongside with the avocado slices. Optionally, garnish with additional parmesan or fresh herbs for added flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your breaded chicken with avocado!
