Step 1

Butterfly and/or pound your chicken breasts until they are 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to your preference

Step 2

Arrange three separate shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second, pour the whisked egg. In the third, add the panko bread crumbs.

Step 3

Coat the chicken breasts in the flour, making sure to shake off any excess.

Step 4

Next, dip them into the egg, ensuring a complete coat.

Step 5

Finally, press them into the panko crumbs, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides.

Step 6

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the coated chicken into the oil. Fry until golden brown, which should take 3 or 4 minutes on each side.

Step 7

Carefully remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy!
