Garlic Fried Chicken

I was in the mood for Chicken Parmesan, and came across this recipe on allrecipes.com. I decided to give it a shot, and it came out delicious! Next time I may use less flour and more breadcrumbs. If you are against frying, you could try baking the chicken instead. The chicken came out VERY dark when fried, but still did not taste burnt. I paired it with some angel hair pasta tossed w/ EVOO and sprinkled some parsley flakes.




INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons garlic powder, I added a bit more
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin (wrapping the chicken loosely in plastic wrap, and then pounding them with a pan works perfectly)
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed


DIRECTIONS
In a shallow dish, mix together the garlic powder, pepper, salt, paprika, bread crumbs and flour. In a separate dish, whisk together the milk and egg.
Heat the oil in an electric skillet set to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Dip the chicken into the egg and milk, then dredge in the dry ingredients until evenly coated.
Fry chicken in the hot oil for about 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from the oil with a slotted spatula, and serve.


*I just used a regular frying pan and waited for the oil to start rippling.
