Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 pieces eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one containing the flour, one with the eggs whisked until smooth, and one containing a mixture of breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.
Coat each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat in the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the chicken rests, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and slice into thin strips. Drizzle lemon juice over the avocado slices to prevent browning.
Plate the breaded chicken and top or serve alongside with the avocado slices. Optionally, garnish with additional parmesan or fresh herbs for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your breaded chicken with avocado!
