Fried Chicken and Potatoes

Tonight after I defrosted the chicken and was told we had been just invited for Friday night dinner. No problem now a mid week treat of chicken! It came out better then I thought it would.
What you need:
1/4 cup flour salt and pepper added
1 egg
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs (you can always add more)
2 chicken breasts butterflied completely in half
3/4 cup olive oil for frying
Here's what you do:
Wash two potatoes and poke generously with a fork and microwave for 5 minutes wrapped in paper towel, leave in microwave until chicken is done.

Scramble the egg in one bowl, put the flour and the panko crumbs in their own bowls. Heat the olive oil on medium heat in a 12 inch frying pan, then start the coating of the chicken breast (flour the chicken breast, dip in egg, allowing the excess to drip of for a second and coat in the panko crumbs)put the chicken on a separate plate to rest as you coat. When you are done with coating all the chicken, the oil in the pan should be ready. Lay the chicken (away from you, so if it splashes you don't get burned) into the oil starting at "12 o'clock" and working your way around clockwise. Fry for 3 Min's on the first side (when you flip the chicken take the potatoes out of the microwave and slice in 1/2 inch slices, set aside.)and 2 Min's on the second, drain on paper toweled. Don't turn off the heat, put the sliced potatoes in the still hot oil (again use the clock positions to know which one you put in first for turning and flip away from you) fry for 2 minutes on each side and then drain on a paper towel. Serve with applesauce or ketchup, Enjoy! We did! Next time, pictures!
