Pound the 1 large chicken breast to an even 1/2 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Set up a dredging station: 0.5 cup flour in one bowl, 1 beaten egg in another. Coat the chicken in flour, then egg, then flour again, pressing to adhere.

Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
