1 whole skinless, boneless chicken breast 2 eggs 1 cup bread crumbs (plain or seasoned) 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1/4 teaspoon ground white (or black) pepper olive or vegetable oil for cooking
Cut breast in half.
Trim all fat off chicken breasts.
Cut each half in half again, crosswise.
Slice each piece of meat into even halves, lengthwise.
Flatten chicken breasts with meat pounder until thin. Do not flatten them too much. The chicken piece should almost double in size but still hold together.
Place pieces onto plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
To prevent flattened breasts from sticking to each other, cover each layer of chicken with plastic wrap. Then place more flattened breasts on top.
In a bowl, mix eggs with wire whisk until well-blended. Place bread crumbs into separate bowl.
Pour 4 to 5 tablespoons of oil into large skillet and heat it over medium heat for about a minute.
Place one flattened breast at a time into egg mixture. Dip breast to cover it with egg mixture all over.
Using fork or your fingers, lift breast and allow all excess to drain.
Place breast into bowl with bread crumbs.
Flip over to cover breast with flour all over.
Lift and gently shake all excess bread crumbs off.
Transfer to preheated skillet. Cook over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until browned.
Flip with spatula and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned.
