Ingredients
All-Purpose Flour
2 tablespoons (sifted)
Black Pepper
1 tablespoon (freshly ground)
Seasoning Salt
1 tablespoon (to taste)
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
4 (trimmed of fat)
Butter
1/2 cup (unsalted)
Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, combine the sifted all-purpose flour, freshly ground black pepper, and seasoning salt until evenly mixed. If you prefer a thicker coating or have additional chicken to fry, feel free to add more flour to achieve your desired consistency.
2
In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-high heat until it reaches a shimmering point, being careful not to let it burn.
3
Take each boneless skinless chicken breast and thoroughly coat both sides in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the flour adheres well.
4
Once the butter is hot, carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet, taking care not to overcrowd. Fry each breast for approximately 7 minutes on the first side, or until it turns a deep golden brown.
5
Flip the chicken breasts using tongs and continue frying for an additional 7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and both sides are crispy and browned.
6
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the mouthwatering Southern flavors!
