Chicken. Boneless skinless chicken breasts work here for a more uniform look and a thicker cut of meat. Feel free to use thighs, too! When cooking, make sure that the internal temperature of the chicken comes to 165F. That way, you’ll know it’s fully cooked inside.

Flour is here to get a little coating on.

Eggs help the flour to stay on and will help any other coating to cling.

Bread crumbs are for the exterior coating. This gives the perfect amount of crispiness.

Salt and pepper are for the seasoning. Feel free to add any extra flavors you might like!
