Ingredients:
 
Boneless, Skinless chicken breasts
Seasoned salt
Paprika-smoked
Onion powder
Pepper
dash of Cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups Canola oil
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup soy flour

Step one:

In heavy deep skillet, (cast iron is the best for frying chicken), heat oil to the point that a drop of water snaps or a little flour dropped in browns with out burning.
Step two:
Season rinsed and dried chicken breasts with seasoned salt,paprika, black pepper and a little Cayenne if you like spicy fried chicken.
Step three:
Once chicken is seasoned, place into a plastic bag, or even a paper bag filled with the all purpose flour and the soy flour. Shake thoroughly so that every piece is well coated.
Step four:
Add the chicken to the oil. Cook thoroughly, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Boneless skinless chicken cooks quickly so keep an eye on it and don't neglect.
You save calories, fat and carbs by using lean chicken, less all purpose flour, blended with soy which is much healthier.
