Instructions
Creating the Easy Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve tender, flavorful chicken:
1. Preheat Your Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter.
2. Prepare the Coating:
– In one bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
– In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
3. Coat the Chicken:
– Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides.
4. Cook the Chicken:
– Once the butter is melted and bubbling in the skillet, carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the pan.
5. Sear: Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.
6. Flip: Turn the chicken over and cook for another 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest: Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes to lock in juices.
8. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.
