Start by preparing the eggs: add salt, black pepper, and scramble them well with about 2 tablespoons of water.

Prepare the chicken by coating it in flour, ensuring it's well covered.

Set up the bread crumbs on a dish for coating the chicken.

Heat oil in a skillet and add a split garlic clove to infuse the oil with flavor.

Once the garlic starts to dance in the oil, add the chicken pieces to the skillet.

Lower the heat slightly after adding the chicken to avoid burning.

Add a piece of butter to the skillet to enhance the flavor and color of the chicken.

Cook the chicken until it reaches a beautiful golden color, then flip to the other side.

Add another piece of butter to the skillet for the second side of the chicken.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and serve.
