Instructions

Prepare the chicken

Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to even thickness of about 1 cm.

5 min

Set up breading station

Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

3 min

Season the flour and breadcrumbs lightly with salt and pepper

Bread the chicken

Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

5 min

Let excess egg drip off before moving to breadcrumbs for a cleaner coating
