Tender Pan-Fried Chicken Breasts

Drescription

This pan-fried chicken is the most succulent, moist chicken you will ever try. It's pan-seared on the stove, then baked until tender.

Ingredients

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried tarragon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 egg
¼ cup milk
8 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup vegetable oil

Directions

Line 2 baking trays with aluminum foil; set aside.
Stir together flour, salt, pepper, tarragon, ginger, mustard powder, thyme, garlic powder, and oregano in a shallow bowl until well-blended. Beat together egg and milk in a separate bowl until smooth.
Dredge chicken breasts in flour mixture, shake off excess, then dip in egg, and again in flour. Place coated chicken breasts on one of the prepared baking trays; set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Dredge chicken breasts in flour once more; shake off excess.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place fried chicken breasts on the second prepared baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Serve hot and enjoy!

Ancho Chicken Breast with Black Beans Bell Peppers & Scallions

In this healthy chicken recipe, the meat is rubbed with ancho chile powder, a spice made from dried poblano peppers. It adds mild heat and subtle smokiness to the rub on the chicken, but you can use regular chili powder here instead. This recipe makes an extra 1/2 cup of the black bean mash--try it wrapped into a burrito for lunch or as a taco filling (see Tips, below).
