Spanish Fried Chicken

Occasionally my husband cooks food that he used to eat when he was in Spain. He said that this is a common dish that people cooked for him in Spain. They have Italian bread crumbs in Spain, but apparently they are more flavorful than the ones we can buy here, so if you make this, try adding some extra Italian seasoning to the mix. When I first tried this dinner, I said "this chicken would be great on a sandwich." My hubby said that he thought the same thing when he had it for the first time, but they just don't eat sandwiches like that in Spain. He served this with salad and Tortilla de Patata. 

Chicken breasts

Eggs

Italian bread crumbs

Olive Oil

Prepare chicken breasts by cutting them into thin slices - approximately 1/4-1/2" thick. Beat eggs in a bowl. Dip chicken in egg and then coat with Italian bread crumbs. Preheat an electric skillet to the highest heat and pour a thin layer of olive oil into pan. Fry chicken breasts in oil, replenishing oil throughout cooking as needed.
