1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create 6 thinner, evenly sized pieces. This helps the chicken cook more evenly.

2. Prepare the Breading: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, and Big Pete’s Steak Night Seasoning. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

3. Beat the Egg: In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg until completely blended.

4. Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Transfer to the seasoned flour mixture and coat thoroughly on all sides, gently pressing the breading onto the chicken.

5. Pan-Fry Until Golden: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken. Cook for approximately 3–4 minutes per side, or until the breading is golden brown and crispy. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.

6. Finish in the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet or oven-safe dish and bake for approximately 10–20 minutes, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

7. Rest & Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.

Big Pete’s Tip

For an extra-crispy coating, place the chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet when finishing it in the oven. This allows hot air to circulate around the chicken, helping keep the breading crispy on all sides.
