  4. Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring a good coating.

  2. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Notes

Make sure the oil is hot before adding the chicken to create a crispy texture. Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even frying. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for a few hours before coating.
