Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise and pounded
  • 2 cups bread crumbs
  • 1 cup corn meal
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 – 1 cup canola or corn oil

Instructions

  • Take the halved chicken breasts and cover with plastic.
  • Using a mallet, pound the chicken pretty thin.
  • Set up your dredging stations. Start by taking one chicken slice and dredge in the flour, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne mixture. Shake off the excess.
  • Then, drop into the egg wash. Let the excess drip off.
  • Finish by placing in the bread crumb corn meal mix. Press in the breading and let the excess fall off.
  • Put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, pour the oil into your skillet and heat on medium high heat.
  • Once the oil is shimmering, add in the breaded chicken fillets. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Cook each fillet 2 – 3 minutes per side. Move to a cooling rack and let the oil drain off.
  • Finish pan frying the fillets.
  • When the breaded fillets are cooked, place on a baking tray.
  • Place into a 275 degree oven for 8 – 10 minutes.
  • Let rest for a couple of minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!
