Instructions for Chicken Barreta Recipe

7. Coat each chicken breast first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumbs.
8. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
9. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
10. Once the chicken breasts are browned, transfer them to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
11. Remove the toothpicks from the chicken and serve hot.
