Ingredients

2 chicken breasts cut in half and pounded into ¼ inch thickness
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
3 large eggs beaten
1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
1 ½ cups Panko breadcrumbs
½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
4 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil

Instructions

Prepare the chicken. Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise, then pound each piece to ¼-inch thickness for even cooking.
Set up the breading station. Set out three shallow bowls. In the first shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In a third shallow bowl, mix the Italian bread crumbs, Panko bread crumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bread the chicken. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off. Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
Cook the Chicken. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Serve. Serve the Crispy Chicken Fritta with garlic Parmesan mashed potatoes or fettuccine Alfredo for a delicious and hearty meal.
