Line up 3 shallow bowls. In one shallow bowl, add the sourdough breadcrumbs, in the second, the beaten egg, and in the final bowl, the all-purpose flour mixed with the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, to taste.
3/4 cup sourdough breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt & pepper
Cut the chicken breast in half lengthwise. Keeping them on the cutting board, place plastic wrap over the chicken breasts. Pound the chicken breasts with a meat tenderizer or a rolling pin.
1 boneless chicken breast
Coat the boneless chicken breasts first in the flour, then dip the chicken in the egg, and finally the sourdough bread crumbs. Be sure to cover all sides of the chicken breast fully. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Cook the 8 bacon slices until done to the desired likeness. Place the cooked bacon on a plate lined with paper towel. Set to the side.
8 slices of bacon
Cook the chicken in the same pan as the bacon in the leftover bacon grease, for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown with an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Add more olive oil, if needed. Once cooked, set the sourdough chicken breast on a plate lined with paper towel.
With a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast into strips. Set to the side.
