Notes
- Cook times are for 6oz chicken breasts. If your chicken is larger or smaller, cook time will need to be adjusted. Use a meat thermometer for best results to ensure chicken reaches 165°F.
- Be sure to pat the chicken dry so the coatings can adhere properly.
- Shake off excess flour before dipping in the egg. If you chicken is large, you may need an extra egg.
- Gently press the breadcrumbs into the meat so they stick well.
- Spray generously with cooking spray or olive oil spray so the crumbs brown nicely.
- Avoid overbaking the breaded chicken as it will continue to cook once it’s out of the oven.
- Let the chicken pieces cool about 5 minutes before slicing.
