Required Products

4 chicken breasts (skinless and boneless), cut into equal pieces

1 cup of flour

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup breadcrumbs (eg breaded rusks or breaded croissants)

salt and black pepper to taste

1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

vegetable oil - for frying

Preparing the chicken

Remove the skin and bones from the chicken breast and cut the meat into equal sized pieces.

Cut the larger pieces in half to get evenly breaded ingredients.

Preparation of the breading

In a shallow dish, mix the flour with the salt, black pepper, paprika and garlic powder (if using). In another plate, beat the eggs.

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom.

Take one piece of chicken and coat it evenly with the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs.

Next, coat the meat in the breadcrumbs, by pressing lightly to stick to it. Place the breaded piece in the preheated oil in the pan and repeat the process with the remaining meat.

Frying the chicken

Fry the breaded chicken in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

If the pieces are larger, you can cover them with a lid while they cook on the inside.

When they are done, remove the breaded chicken from the pan and place it on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.

Serve the breaded chicken warm and garnish it with fresh salad greens, vegetable side dish or tomato sauce.

You can also add homemade mashed potatoes or French fries as a side dish.

Make sure the meat is dry before you start breading it to help the breading stick better.

If you want a spicier taste, you can add some paprika or chili to the flour or breadcrumbs.

Do not fill up the pan with too many pieces of chicken to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust on the breaded chicken.

This is it! Now you are ready to make the perfect breaded chicken at home. Enjoy the delicious food and share it with your loved ones and friends!
