To make Golden Crusted Chicken Melts, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

Dip each chicken slice into the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs, making sure to coat each slice evenly. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
