Instructions
Preparation
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and pound gently between plastic wrap until about ½ inch thick.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
- Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing lightly.

Cooking

- Fry the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C).
- Drain the chicken on paper towels.
Assembly
