Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 35 mins
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • Dried Italian herbs
  • 2 large chicken breasts filleted
  • Vegetable oil to fry
Instructions
  1. Place flour, eggs and breadcrumbs into three separate bowls. Add milk to eggs and mix well. Add herbs to breadcrumbs
  2. Using one hand gently press the chicken into the flour to coat then shake off the excess flour
  3. Using other hand dip into the whisked egg allowing any excess to drip off
  4. Using the same hand from the flour press the chicken gently into the breadcrumbs.
  5. Place on a plate not touching or overlapping the other pieces of chicken. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to help crumbs set
  6. Heat a frying pan to a medium heat and add the oil.
  7. Place chicken into pan making sure you don’t crowd the pan – cook on one side until golden then flip to finish the other side. Chicken should be cooked through by this time and now serve
