Instructions

Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Set up a breading station: bowl of flour, bowl of beaten eggs, and a bowl of breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Fry the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve with fresh lemon wedges.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider double-breading the chicken and experimenting with seasoning in the breadcrumbs.
