This is a simple recipe that takes no time
at all. Serve with a nice salad, and even a dish of pasta on the
side.
When
I first made this recipe, I didn't follow any instructions. I
got the gist of what to do from my Mother in law over the phone
and I was on my way. Use my measurements below as a guideline,
and feel free to modify them to your needs.
Serves: 4
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts partially thawed
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup of flour
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1.
Slice
the chicken breasts to fillet them very thin. No more than
1/4" thick.
2.
Place
a few breasts at a time in a large zip log bag and use a meat
mallet/tenderizer to flatten the breasts even more. (you can
skip this step if no time).
3.
Heat
olive oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat.
4.
Meanwhile,
dip fillets in the flour, egg, then breadcrumbs.
5.
Sprinkle
with salt and pepper (optional)
6.
Place
in frying pan and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes.
7.
Turn
over and fry another 1 minute or until fully cooked. Length
of time will depend on thickness of breasts.
8.
Remove
from pan and place directly on paper towels to absorb excess
oil.
TIP #1:
Fry your chicken in batches and add more oil if you need to
during the process.
TIP #2:
Serve with a nice salad, bread and some pasta.
TIP #3:
You do not have to use extra virgin olive oil, regular olive
oil is fine for frying.
TIP #4:
Feel free to add in some herbs in the breadcrumb mixture such
as dried parsley.
