Put flour on a plate, breadcrumbs on another plate and beat the egg in a bowl.
Piece by piece, coat the chicken thoroughly with the flour and drop into the egg mixture, covering completely.
Then again piece by pice, drip/shake the egg off of a piece of chicken and dip into the breadcrumbs. Press breadcrumbs into each side of the chicken being sure it’s throughly coated.
Place on a plate, you can stack the chicken into each other.
Cook Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Oil is hot enough when a breadcrumb sizzles.
Add the chicken breasts piece by piece (don’t let them touch) and cook until golden brown, flip over and cook the other side.
Once cooked (both sides are golden brown), put on a paper towel lined plate. Place paper towels between each layer of chicken (it soaks up some of the oil).
Serve!
