Pour chicken broth into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Remove beans from broth with a slotted spoon and set in a bowl of cold water.
After beans are cooled down, pat dry with a paper towel.
Whisk the egg and milk together in a shallow bowl.
In another shallow bowl, combine flour, breadcrumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Dip the beans into the egg mixture, followed by the flour mixture and place in hot oil, a few beans at a time. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
