    List of Ingredients

    4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
    1 egg
    seasoning salt to taste
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup cornstarch
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    salt and pepper to taste
    oil for frying

    Recipe

    1 In a shallow dish or bowl combine the soup, egg and seasoning salt (be careful, as soup is already salted); mix together. Dip chicken in mixture and turn to coat completely. Set aside.

    2 In a resealable plastic bag mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. One at a time, place chicken pieces in bag, seal and shake to coat. Add more flour and/or cornstarch as necessary, but add them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture).

    3 Place coated chicken on a platter and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (this is critical, to ensure crispiness when fried). Heat oil in a deep skillet over meduim heat; be sure to use enough oil to cover chicken pieces. Once chicken is doughy, test oil by dropping a piece of the 'dough' into it; the oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.

    4 Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 7 to 10 minutes each, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Drain on paper towelling and serve.
