Breaded chicken breast is a true classic in Hungarian cuisine, loved by everyone. This simple yet delicious dish is a perfect choice for a quick weekday lunch or a family dinner. The juicy chicken breast hidden beneath the crispy breading is guaranteed to enchant your taste buds. Prepare this timeless dish yourself and enjoy the nostalgic flavors!

Steps

Preparation

Pound the chicken breast fillets to about 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.

Breading

Prepare three plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast fillet first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs.

Frying

Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully place the breaded chicken fillets into the pan. Fry each side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is crispy. Remove the cooked fillets and drain excess oil on paper towels.

Serving

Serve the breaded chicken breast immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and your favorite side dish, such as mashed potatoes or rice.

Extra Tips

► It's worth pounding the chicken breast fillets thinly, so they cook faster and remain juicier.

► Use two separate plates for the flour and breadcrumbs, and a deep plate for the beaten eggs, this will make breading easier.

► Don't overcrowd the pan; fry the cutlets in batches to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
