Classic Breaded Chicken Breast

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Breaded chicken breast is the champion of speed and popularity. Since chicken breast is a lean meat, the coating plays a dual role: it adds flavour and creates a protective shell that locks in moisture. The secret lies in the thickness of the slices: if too thick, the coating burns before the centre cooks. If too thin, it becomes tough as old boots.

Instructions

1 ✓

Slice the chicken breast and gently pound it (under cling film) to an even thickness.

Tip: Flatten it without destroying the fibres so it cooks evenly.
2 ✓

Salt the meat. Prepare the breading station: flour, beaten egg (with a pinch of salt), and breadcrumbs.

Tip: You can add a spoonful of milk or sour cream to the egg for a softer coating.
3 ✓

Coat the chicken: flour (shake off excess), egg (let drip), breadcrumbs (press on gently).

Tip: Only coat immediately before frying, otherwise the crumbs will become soggy from the meat's moisture.
4 ✓

Fry in oil that is hotter than medium heat until golden brown (approx. 3-4 minutes per side).

Tip: Turn only once! Unnecessary turning cools the oil and can damage the coating.
