Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 1.5 cups instant potato flakes
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare a breading station with three separate shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined. In the third, mix the instant potato flakes, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then lightly season them with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring it is lightly coated. Shake off any excess.

Step 5

Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 6

Press the chicken into the seasoned instant potato flakes, coating both sides evenly while pressing firmly to adhere.

Step 7

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until hot and shimmering.

Step 8

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 9

Once all chicken pieces are seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad.
