Notes

Use gluten-free options for flour and bread crumbs if needed. Consider incorporating dried oregano or Italian seasoning into the bread crumb mix for added flavor. Allow the breaded chicken to rest for 5 minutes before cooking for a more cohesive crust. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to regain some crispiness.
