    Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

  4. 4

  5. 5

    Cook chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

    Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving hot.

Chef's tip

For added flavor, try marinating the chicken in the spice mixture for a few hours before cooking. Ensure each chicken breast is of even thickness for uniform cooking.
