recipe

  • Step 1
    In a shallow dish, add the egg, a pinch of salt & pepper and whisk. Optional: add a pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Step 2
    Add the flour to another shallow dish and the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
  • Step 3
    Dip the chicken in the flour and then in the egg. Finally, dip the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture and coat on both sides. Set aside.
  • Step 4
    For a thicker breading, dip again in the egg and the breadcrumbs.
  • Step 5
    Add 3-6 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan and heat to medium-high heat. When the oil is nice and hot, add the chicken. Tip: Test the oil by throwing in a few pieces of breadcrumbs. The oil is hot enough if they sizzle!
  • Step 6
    Cook the chicken in medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden. Salt.
  • Step 7
    Remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel lined plate to absorb the excess oil.
  • Step 8
    Cut the chicken into strips.
  • Step 9
    Serve the chicken with a salad with the dressing. Tip: Try vinegar and lemon juice for a light dressing. Enjoy!
