Make Pan Fried Chicken

Frying chicken in a pan is a very quick, but effective way of cooking chicken. Please read on in this section to find out about pan frying chicken breast.

Steps

  1. Get out a medium sized frying pan. In addition to that, get out some Pam Cooking Spray.
  2. Turn on your stove and spray about three sprays of Pam into the pan. Be sure that the stove is on medium-high. If you are using a gas stove, spray the Pam with the flames off to avoid possible flareups.
  3. Take your chicken breast and season it to your own personal liking. You should wash your hands before and after handling the chicken. You could also season one or both sides of the chicken.
  4. Once the pan is heated, carefully place the chicken in the pan. Be sure not to splatter any oil that's in the pan.
  5. Let the chicken cook on the first side until you can see it just start to brown.
    • You should continue to nudge the chicken so it doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. You may want to lift up the breast every once in a while to spray the pan again.
  6. Once the chicken has gotten browned, flip it so it can cook on the other side. You should cook this side the same as the first.
  7. After you have cooked both sides, get the two widths of the breasts browned.
    • For this, you can push down to cook the side faster. This method isn't suggested for cooking the rest of the breast.
  8. Once all sides have been cooked, let the breast sit in the pan, while you flip it every 30 seconds or so. Make sure you put the heat down to medium.
    • By doing this, you will cook the inside of the breast without burning the outside.
  9. Cut open the middle of the breast just slightly to see if the chicken is cooked.
    • If the middle is white or grayish, proceed to the next step.
    • If the middle is still the slightest shade of pink, continue cooking the chicken as mentioned in the above step.
  10. Once the chicken is done, take it out of the pan and serve it to your liking.
  11. Finished.
