Ingredients

• vegetable oil for frying
• salt to taste
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 teaspoons dried basil
• 2 cups bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons lemon-pepper seasoning
• 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix bread crumbs, lemon-pepper seasoning, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and salt together in a shallow dish.

Step 2

Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels, dip in beaten eggs, and dredge through bread crumb mixture.

Step 3

Heat enough oil to thickly coat the bottom of a frying pan over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
