Garlic Chicken Fried Chicken (Wednesday)

Jared and I love garlic, so when I found this recipe, I thought this would be a great meal. In the end, I found out it is very similar to chicken cutlets, but with more seasoning. We did not have much time for cooking, so we were unable to add more side dishes. The chicken stuffing was a great choice.

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste
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
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed


Directions:
1) 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.

2) 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.

3) 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.

Jared thought the chicken was good, but could have used more garlic powder -- maybe fresh garlic.

Wife Rating: A-
I agree with Jared. The name of the recipe begins with garlic, I think the garlic should have been more prominent.

We'll make this again in the future. Next time, we'll add the zesty potatoes, and a veggie.
