Pan-fried breaded chicken
These pan-fried breaded chicken breasts can be used in so many ways and are very simple and quick to make.
What’s goes well alongside these breaded chicken breasts?
I serve these either alongside a simple green salad with some fries, or even in a toasted brioche bun.
Top Tip
Place a chicken breast on a chopping board, place one hand on the top of the chicken and with a sharp knife, very carefully, slice through the middle of the chicken, this will then create 2 flat pieces of chicken and wont take as long to cook.

Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 25 g salted butter
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 50 g plain flour
- 1 egg

Instructions
- Slice each chicken breast, in half to create 4 flat chicken breasts (See top tip).
- Take 3 bowls and place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs into each bowl.
- Gently heat the butter and oil in a shallow frying pan. When the butter has melted, dip a slice of chicken in the flour, then into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs (in that order), place in the pan and cook on each side for around 8 mins until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat until all the chicken is cooked through. You may need to do this in 2 batches.
- Slice and serve immediately with some salad, chips or pasta.
