Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for frying)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Flatten chicken breasts slightly using a meat mallet for even cooking.
- Set up a breading station: mix flour, paprika, salt, and pepper in one bowl; beat eggs in another; leave a third bowl empty for coated chicken.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, dip in beaten eggs, then coat again with flour.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until bubbly. Fry chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F). Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, whisk in flour to create a roux, then gradually add chicken broth and milk while scraping the pan. Add cornstarch mixed with water to thicken if needed.
