Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 5-7 oz each breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 eggs very well beaten
- ½ cup all purpose flour + 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon cut in slices for garnish
Instructions
- In three separate shallow bowls place the beaten eggs, flour and cornstarch, and bread crumbs. Dry the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
- Dip the chicken in the flour and set aside on a separate plate.
- Then, one by one, dip the chicken breasts in the egg and lastly, the bread crumbs. If you want a thicker coating you may repeat the egg and bread crumb mixture again. This will give a thicker crust. OPTIONAL: Before cooking let chicken sit for 30 minutes, on a plate, to dry and let crust mixture harden a bit.
- Heat large skillet (make sure the skillet is large enough to fit the four chicken breasts without them overlapping) on medium high heat. Add olive oil and butter.
- Brown chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side. DO NOT turn or touch the chicken in between turning. after browned on both sides turn heat to medium- low.
- Cook an addition 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked all the way through reaching an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Take of heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- The internal temperature will then rise an extra 5 degrees F reaching a final temp of 165 degrees F.
- Enjoy with a squeeze of lemon and an extra sprinkle of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper if desired.
Notes
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled!
