  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking oil for frying

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

  • Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Dredge each chicken breast in flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Fry the Chicken

  • Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Cook the Plantains

  • Add more oil if needed in the same skillet.
  • Fry the plantain slices until they are golden and crispy, approximately 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove and place them alongside the chicken.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Arrange the fried chicken and plantains on a serving platter.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
