Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare three shallow bowls as follows in steps 2-4:

Step 2

Pour the flour into the first bowl and spread it evenly.

Step 3

Add the eggs, salt, and pepper to the second bowl. Mix thoroughly (with egg beaters or by hand).

Step 4

Pour the breadcrumbs into a third bowl.

Step 5

Press one piece of chicken into the flour. Coat thoroughly, then shake off any excess.

Step 6

Dip the flour-coated chicken into the egg mixture.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the eggs and press it firmly into the breadcrumbs. Then, shake the chicken gently to remove any excess crumbs.

Step 8

Place the breaded chicken onto a clean plate to rest. Then, repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 for the remaining chicken breast halves. Do not stack them on top of one another on the resting plate.

Step 9

Pour the vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Then, pan-fry the chicken in small batches for approximately 2-4 minutes per side. The breading should turn golden brown, and there should be no pink left inside each piece. Check the chicken with a digital thermometer. The temperature reading should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

Step 10

Place the cooked chicken on a baking sheet in the oven. This will keep it warm while you're frying the remaining halves.

Step 11

When all pieces are cooked, serve them with lemon wedges for spritzing. Enjoy!
