- Pound chicken with a meat mallet to 1/2-inch thickness. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then in potato mixture, patting to help the coating adhere. Arrange chicken in an even layer on a large plate. Cover and refrigerate chicken and remaining egg mixture 1 hour. Discard remaining used potato mixture.
- In a 12-inch cast iron or other deep skillet, heat 1/2-inch of oil over medium heat to 350 degrees.

Fry chicken 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and chicken is no longer pink. Drain on paper towels.

I am now semi-retired and an Empty Nester. I try to focus on lighter dishes for day to day menus. I still like to explore new food ideas. I look for smaller quantity dishes now. I am not vegetarian but I cook with more vegetables than meat now. I enjoy sharing desserts with family and my co-workers.
