Chicken Cutlet, Couscous & Green Beans

recipe

• Step 1
  Wash & hull the green beans if necessary.
• Step 2
  Boil a pot of salted water. Add the green beans and cook for 12 minutes. If you are using frozen green beans, cook them for 2 to 3 minutes. Once cooked, drain them.
• Step 3
  In a deep plate, add the egg, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Whisk with a fork.
• Step 4
  Place the flour on another plate. Coat the chicken in the flour and then in the beaten egg.
• Step 5
  Add the breadcrumbs to a third plate and coat the chicken in the breadcrumbs. For a thicker crust, coat it a second time in the beaten egg mixture, then in the breadcrumbs.
• Step 6
  Add about 5 to 10 cl of oil in a medium pan. The chicken does not need to be completely covered in oil. When the oil starts to sizzle (you can test with a little breadcrumbs), add the chicken.
• Step 7
  Cook the chicken over medium heat until nicely browned - about 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and let it brown for 4 minutes on the other side.
• Step 8
  Meanwhile, boil a pot of water. In a bowl, mix : the couscous with salt, pepper, a drizzle of olive oil & the tomato purée. Pour the same volume of couscous in boiling water. Cover & leave to soak for 5 min. Fluff the couscous with a fork & set aside.
• Step 9
  Once browned, reserve the chicken on absorbent paper.
• Step 10
  Slice the chicken.
• Step 11
  Serve the breaded chicken with the couscous and green beans. Re-season according to your taste and add some fresh herbs, if you have any. It's ready !
