yummmmmm...this is the easiest chicken you could ever make...lots of photos so i'll put the instructions first :-)...you're welcome
ROUGH DAY CHICKEN! you know...those days where you just wanna hit something haha
ingredients:
A freezer ziploc
4 chicken breasts
salt
pepper
2 cups plain bread crumbs (pour it on paper plates...easy clean up!)
1 cup of milk in a bowl (any milk...i use Lactaid since I am lactose intolerant and the hubs can't tell the difference anyway)
Olive Oil
A pan big enough for 2-3 pounded out boobies hahaha <-- my immaturity hahaha
An extra serving dish
ok so:
Grab your freezer bag and put one breast in (little trick of mine below). You can zip it up if you want just leave a little air in there
POUND THAT SUCKER!! You want it thin...almost see through...mine alway burst
Place/slide your chicken onto a pan and if you want/need to, slice it up (i always slice mine up...small pieces for the kids...larger for the adults)
Put your pan on the stove...cover the pan in olive oil...HEAT YOUR OIL FIRST
Grab a fork...dip a piece of chicken in the milk and then thinly, evenly coat the chicken in the bread crumbs...give it a little wiggle/shake
Place your chicken piece on top of the sizzling oil! sssssiiiiizzzzzllllleeeee for about 4 minutes (golden brown)
Flip it and cook for about 2 minutes...place in your extra (clean) serving dish
Continue with the rest of your chicken! You should be able to do 2-3 big slices in your pan and a bunch of littles at a time.
I cook rice and a veggie (we had broccoli tonight) and bread! THIS would also be amazing topped with an arugula tomato, avocado salad as I read in Gwyneth Paltrow's cookbook aka my go to book now...so awesome!
OK...here are my photos...step by step and a little freezer bag "i don't like touching raw chicken" trick :-)
Fold over the top of your bag and then insert your chicken...
Fold the top bag over..NO MESS AT THE TOP!
POUND IT OUT!!!!
Then, fold the top back over and just slide it onto your "raw chicken" platter/cookies sheet...staging area? haha
4 Chicken breasts gave me allllllll this!!!!
mmmm...raw chicken....
The dippppppp!
Oil into the pan!
My production line!
AND they're in!! sizzle sizzle siiiizzzzzle...
Golden brown yumminess
Rice, chicken, broccoli, garlic bread via Instagram...hit me up :-) @3girls_and_a_boy!!
This takes no time at all and you most likely have it all on hand...if it isn't breakfast for dinner it's this on a lazy or rough day ;-)
ENJOY!!!!
