Then dip in breadcrumbs or cornflakes
Place heavy medium sized skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to coat pan. Fry for aboiut 5 inutes on one side, until golden brown and then flip over and cook for another 5 minutes . Cut into chicken to make sure it is opaque and cooked through.
If Oven Baking:
Bread chicken the same way but spray with olive oil spray and place on a rack over a cookie sheet in a 425 degree oven. Bake for about 10 minutes, flip over and cook another 5 minutes. Cut into it to make sure it is cooked through. Bake longer if still raw but cover with tin foil so the crust doesn’t burn.
