Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 cup flour
  • 4 cups Italian bread crumbls
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • salt + pepper

Instructions
 

Prepare Chicken

  • Cut the chicken into thin pieces.
  • 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!
