Watch How to Make It
The breading follows a clear order: coat the chicken first, then press it into the dry breadcrumb coating on both sides. That firm press is part of the stated method, so it stays right in the process rather than being treated as an optional extra.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
This recipe uses thin-sliced chicken breasts and a two-part coating process before frying. The finished chicken is cooked until golden brown, with the cooking time given as 2 to 3 minutes per side.
It also leaves the final plate open to your choice of sides. That makes the serving step flexible without changing the chicken preparation itself.
Ingredients You'll Need
The edible ingredients include thin-sliced chicken breasts, Italian breadcrumbs, Danos Seasoning or Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, an egg, Italian dressing, and oil for frying. The egg is combined with 1/3 cup Italian dressing, while the breadcrumbs are combined with Danos Seasoning and Italian seasoning for the dry coating.
A frying pan is used for the cooking step, with a thin layer of oil added before the chicken goes in. Keep the egg mixture and breadcrumb mixture separate so the chicken can move through each coating in order.
How To Make It
Make the egg mixture with the egg and 1/3 cup Italian dressing. Make the dry mixture with the Italian breadcrumbs, Danos Seasoning, and Italian seasoning.
Coat the chicken in the egg mixture, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, covering both sides. Press firmly so the breadcrumbs stick well.
Put a thin layer of oil in a frying pan. Fry each side for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Serve with your choice of sides.
Serving & Variations
Serve the Italian fried chicken with your choice of sides. The recipe leaves that part open, so the chicken can be paired with the sides you already plan to make.
