Ingredients

200g 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

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, lemon-pepper seasoning, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and salt.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat enough oil to generously coat the bottom of a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, approximately 8 to 10 minutes per side. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches at least 74 degrees C (165 degrees F) in the center.
