I've cooked a lot of different chops, but these don't look like any of the options.
If desired, you can sprinkle the chicken with a mixture of spices for the chicken.
During frying, the whipped protein does not spread, but turns into a golden fluffy shell that completely covers the chicken meat and prevents the evaporation of excess moisture from the chops.
It is better to eat chops right away while they are hot. But the next day they do not lose their properties after warming up.
You can serve chicken chops with any side dish. It can be potatoes (mashed potatoes or slices), boiled rice or buckwheat, as well as pasta. Or a salad of fresh vegetables.
According to the same recipe, you can cook turkey or pork chops. Only the pork needs to be beaten thinner on both sides so that it is quickly fried and does not remain raw inside.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
