Ingredients:

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.


























Serve immediately with salad or
any side dish.
