Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring that they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for best flavor.
3. In another bowl, combine the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You’ll know it’s hot enough when a small drop of water sizzles when it hits the oil.
5. Remove each chicken breast from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour and cheese mixture, pressing to ensure an even coating.
6. Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. To check for doneness, the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
7. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve hot, and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!

This dish pairs wonderfully with sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a fresh garden salad. Invite friends and family to gather around the table and savor every bite. Happy cooking!
