Bread Chicken Recipe
Welcome to our delicious and easy-to-make Bread Chicken recipe! This recipe is perfect for those looking for a crispy and flavorful chicken dish. With simple ingredients and a straightforward cooking process, you can enjoy a homemade breaded chicken that rivals any restaurant’s version.
Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 2 cups breadcrumbs
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Start by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness. You can place them between plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy pan. This step ensures the chicken cooks evenly.
2. In three separate bowls, prepare your breading station. In the first bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, paprika, and garlic powder.
3. Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, covering both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
4. Next, dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated.
5. Finally, coat the chicken with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them.
7. Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
8. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
9. Serve the breaded chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
This recipe takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare and cook. It yields 4 servings, making it a perfect meal for a family dinner or gathering with friends. Enjoy your homemade breaded chicken, and impress everyone with your culinary skills!
