Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts ((about 4 breasts - see step 1))
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)
- 1 cup all purpose flour, (divided use)
- 25 saltine crackers, (crushed)
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper ((optional))
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup milk
- vegetable oil or shortening, (for frying)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ to 2 cups whole milk
- salt and black pepper, (to taste)
Directions
- 1
If your chicken breasts are more than ½” thick, you’ll want to pound it out until thin. This will provide additional tenderizing as well as allowing for more even cooking.

Once all the chicken is finished cooking, remove excess oil from the pan (leaving about ¼ cup remaining). Add ¼ cup flour to the pan.
