Lemon-Pepper Fried Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons lemon-pepper seasoning
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- salt to taste
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- vegetable oil for frying
Steps
- Mix bread crumbs, lemon-pepper seasoning, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and salt together in a shallow dish.
- Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels, dip in beaten eggs, and dredge through bread crumb mixture.
- 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).
