Breaded chicken breasts are a classic dish of American cuisine, embodying the combination of a crispy golden crust and tender, juicy meat. Its history traces back to European breading traditions, but in America it gained popularity due to its simplicity and wonderful flavor. Fried in oil after being coated with egg and breadcrumbs, the breasts become appetizingly crispy, while garlic adds a spicy note. This dish pairs perfectly with fresh salads, mashed potatoes, or light sauces. It can be served as a main course for dinner or used in sandwiches for a more casual snack.
