Slice 2 chicken breasts into thin slices, getting 3 to 4 slices from each breast.

Pound each slice of chicken in a Ziploc bag using a heavy Yeti cup to tenderize and create even thickness.

Prepare seasoning by mixing 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 0.5 to 0.75 teaspoon salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Sprinkle the seasoning on both sides of each chicken slice and rub it in.

Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and add the remaining seasoning, then beat the eggs with a fork until combined.

Crush 1.5 sleeves of saltine crackers in a bag until they reach a fine, powder-like consistency.

Dip each chicken slice into the egg mixture, then transfer it to the bag of crushed crackers and shake until coated.

Heat 0.5 cup of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add 2 slices of chicken to the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.

Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and repeat with remaining chicken slices.
