Instructions 

  • Using a sharp knife (a filet knife works best), slice each breast into 2 thin pieces. Place chicken breast on a cutting board and gently pound into an even thickness with a meat tenderizer. 
  • Season both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with garlic salt, black pepper and salt.
  • Coat the seasoned chicken breasts with flour and set aside.
  • In a large frying pan, over medium heat, add just enough oil to cover the bottom of the frying pan. 
  • Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the frying pan. Do not crowd the chicken, if the pot is not large enough to fry all the chicken at once, fry in batches.
  • Fry chicken on each side for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. (Chicken is cooked once it reaches 165°F with a meat thermometer.) Serve as desired!
