Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts halved and lightly pounded
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Beat the eggs in a shallow dish until fully blended.
- Place the flour in a separate shallow dish and season with salt and black pepper, whisking to combine.
- Add the Italian breadcrumbs to a third shallow dish.
- Working with one chicken cutlet at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour, making sure to coat it completely and shake off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, then press it firmly into the breadcrumbs until fully covered. Repeat with all the cutlets.
- Heat about ¼ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the breaded chicken in batches, 2 cutlets at a time, for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C) when done.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges and enjoy!
