Method

• 01
  If the chicken breasts are thicker than 1 inch, either pounds them to a 1-inch thickness or slice them into 2 thin layers.
• 02
  Crack the eggs in a bowl and whisk with a fork.
• 03
  Put the bread crumbs on a large plate.
• 04
  Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
• 05
  Dip each chicken breast in eggs first on both sides, then dip in breadcrumbs on both sides, pressing into the bread crumbs so they stick better.
• 06
  Put breaded chicken breasts on a frying pan, making sure they are not touching. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/3 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.
• 07
  Cook for 4 minutes, then carefully flip the chicken with a spatula. Sprinkle with remaining 1/3 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.
• 08
  Cook the chicken for another 4 minutes, or until cooked through (uniformly white in the middle).
