1 c water
1 large egg
2 c italian bread crumbs
1/2 c olive oil, extra virgin
salt, pepper and garlic salt (may use powder or fresh garlic)

Steps:

1. Wash and pat dry chicken breasts. Slice each breast into thin pieces, I cut the breasts in a diagnal slice. Start heating your olive oil in skillet.
2. Mix water and egg with whisk in flat bowl for dipping. Dip each chicken slice in water-egg mixture. Then press in bread crumbs. I salt pepper and garlic salt them now. Then put in heated oil. Fry each piece for a few minutes til golden brown and turn cooking other side same. It is a continuous thing dipping, breading and frying as about one breast sliced will fill most skillets.
