Directions

20 min
  1. 1

    Slice the chicken breast into about 10 thin cutlets and flatten to an even thickness.

  2. 2

    Season the meat with salt and pepper, place it in a plastic bag with 1+ tbsp of flour, and coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Crack 1 egg into a bowl and beat well until the white is smooth. Coat both sides of the meat thoroughly with the egg mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat 2-3 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the egg-coated meat and reduce heat slightly to cook.

  5. 5

    If there is leftover egg mixture, drizzle it over the meat while cooking (the appearance may vary slightly, but it's fine).

  6. 6

    Once golden brown, flip the meat and reduce heat to low. Cover with a lid for a fluffy finish.

  7. 7

    Once the other side is golden brown, it's done. Serve with ketchup or your favorite sauce.

Tips

Covering with a lid makes the result fluffier and also saves cooking time. Using more oil will give you an even fluffier texture.
