Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- cooking oil
For Serving (optional):
- Lemon wedges
- fresh parsley
Instructions
- Pour 1 ½ inches of oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot or high-sided skillet. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 360℉.
- Whisk the flour, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and pepper together in one shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and water. Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Place each piece of chicken between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap and use a rolling pin or meat mallet to pound the chicken to ½- to ¼-inch thickness.
- Coat the chicken first in the flour, then dredge in the egg wash, and finally in the breadcrumbs.
- Fry in batches, flipping once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, season both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Hold in a warm oven if not serving immediately. Serve garnished with parsley, with lemon wedges on the side.
