That sounds like a wonderful setting for a picnic! Pan-fried chicken can be a delicious addition to your mountain view picnic. Here's a simple recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or enough to cover the bottom of your pan)
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it with the flour mixture. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated on both sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the pan-fried chicken hot or let it cool down for your picnic. You can pack it in an airtight container or wrap it in foil to keep it warm.
If desired, serve with lemon wedges for a refreshing tang and garnish with fresh parsley for added freshness.
Enjoy your mountain view picnic with the delicious pan-fried chicken!
