**Double Breaded Chicken**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 eggs
– 2 tablespoons milk
– 2 cups breadcrumbs
– Oil for frying
**Instructions:**
1. Start by preparing your breading station. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a separate dish, whisk the eggs and milk together. Place the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
2. Take one chicken breast and coat it evenly in the seasoned flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.
3. Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, making sure it is well coated.
4. Now, transfer the chicken into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken. Make sure the chicken is thoroughly coated. Repeat this process for each chicken breast, stacking them on a plate as you go.
5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the chicken breasts.
6. Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil. Be cautious not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook the chicken in batches.
7. Fry the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. If you are unsure if the chicken is fully cooked, you can make a small cut in the thickest part of the breast to check for doneness.
8. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
9. Serve the Double Breaded Chicken hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad.
