Recipe(tried): Fried Chicken (using chicken breasts)

This isn't southern fried chicken, but it is what my kids called fried chicken!

FRIED CHICKEN BREASTS

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/4 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
4 eggs
Olive oil and regular oil (blend, canola, corn oil, whatever)

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.

In a medium bowl, beat eggs with a little water added.

I stretch the chicken by slicing the meat in half lengthwise to get two large, thin pieces of meat from each fillet. Sometimes, depending on the size, I can get three sections out of each fillet.

Dip each piece of chicken in flour, then egg, then flour again, and place in skillet with hot oil just covering the bottom of the pan. (We're not going for deep frying here.) Fry in batches, keeping warm in oven.

NOTES:
I mix my oils together in the pan, because olive oil is so expensive. You have to keep adding a little oil for each batch, and you may run out of either flour or egg, but just add a bit more if needed.

I keep a bag of fillets I buy on sale in the freezer, and pull out one or two if what I'm fixing doesn't suit all the kids. I also buy my own breast quarters on sale and fillet them myself and put them in the freezer, and use the leftovers for a little chicken soup.

Makes enough for six servings
