Ingredients
| Amount | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 to 6 | Chicken Breasts |
| 1/2 cup | All Purpose Flour |
| 1/2 cup | Corn Starch |
| 1 tbsp | Onion Powder |
| 1 tbsp | Paprika |
| 1 tbsp | Mustard Powder |
| 1/2 tbsp | Garlic Powder |
| 1/2 tbsp | Black Pepper |
| To taste | Salt |
| For frying | Olive Oil |
Instructions
Prep the Chicken: The most important first step is to get your chicken as dry as possible. Lay the four to six chicken breasts out and use a paper towel to pat them down until they are completely dry. You do not want any wetness on this chicken. Once dry, season both sides with a little bit of salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
Make the Coating: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, corn starch, onion powder, paprika, mustard powder, and the half tablespoon of garlic powder and pepper. Mix it all up really well.
Heat the Pan: Get a medium skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Coat the Chicken: Take one piece of seasoned chicken at a time and dip it into your flour and corn starch mixture. Get both sides really well coated. You want the chicken to be completely white with the coating.
Cook to Perfection: Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot pan. Let it cook for about five to seven minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the chicken. You are looking for a beautiful, deep brown golden color.
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a minute before serving. This recipe always comes out juicy and incredibly flavorful.
