Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed

Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this recipe.
Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and the last with panko breadcrumbs.
Thoroughly coat each chicken breast in flour, removing any extra. Next, dip it into the beaten egg, and then firmly press it into the panko crumbs, ensuring both sides are completely covered.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil and fry until it reaches a golden-brown color, approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Move the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy this tasty dish.
