Tips:

Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts into thin cutlets. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before dredging it in the flour mixture. This will give it a flavorful crust.
Make sure the oil is hot before adding the chicken. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will become tough.
Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include marinara sauce, ranch dressing, and honey mustard.
