🧑🍳 Instructions
1. PREPARE THE CHICKEN
Slice the chicken fillets into even strips. This helps them cook evenly and stay juicy.
2. MAKE THE FLAVOR BASE
In a bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the minced garlic and spices. This will infuse the chicken with flavor from the inside.
3. COAT THE CHICKEN
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture
Then coat it in flour
Dip again in the egg mixture
Finally, roll it in breadcrumbs
