    Step 1.

    How to fry a chicken breast chop in batter in a frying pan? It's very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. The size of chicken breasts doesn't really matter. It can be 3-4 small fillets or two large ones. For chops, a minimum set of spices such as salt and pepper is sufficient. But you can also add spices to your taste, for example, dry garlic, paprika, curry, etc .

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Wash and dry the chicken fillet. If the fillets are large, weighing about 300 g, cut each across into slices 2 cm thick. If the fillets are small, it is enough to cut them into 2-3 pieces lengthwise or across.

    Step 3.

    Season each piece with salt, pepper and sprinkle with other spices as desired.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Lightly beat the meat with a hammer on one side, driving spices into the meat and flattening the pieces. At the same time, try not to damage the integrity of the meat. You can first beat off, and then sprinkle the meat with spices.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Now prepare everything for batter and breading. If the eggs are large, three pieces are enough, if small, of the second category, it is better to take 4 pieces so that the batter is enough for all the chops. Sour cream can take any fat content, I have 15%, but not watery, so that the batter turns out to be quite viscous.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Combine eggs with sour cream, salt and pepper. Mix well.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Gradually add flour, each time beating the batter with a fork, breaking the lumps. In order not to form lumps, I advise you to sift the flour into the batter through a sieve. Flour you can take a little more or less.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    The finished batter should be quite viscous, but fluid. It should not drain off the chicken like water.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Pour the breadcrumbs flour into a bowl. You can also add a little salt to the flour if desired. Lightly roll the chicken slices in flour, so the batter will better envelop the meat.

    Then dip the chops in the batter from all sides.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Immediately put the battered chops in a preheated frying pan and fry in vegetable oil for about 3-5 minutes on each side. Focus on your stove. At the end, you can cover the pan with a lid and fry over low heat for another 3-4 minutes, bringing the chops to readiness. I didn't need to additionally fry the meat on the lid, because the chops were thin enough and the chicken was well fried.

    Step 12.

    Transfer the finished chops to a dish and immediately serve them to the table with any side dish. Bon appetit!

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! 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.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
