Delicious and tender breaded chicken: recipe for a meat dish
Essential Ingredients:
- standard size chicken egg - 2 pcs.;
- chilled chicken fillet - 700 g;
- sea salt, allspice black and aromatic seasonings - add to taste;
- lemon - 2/3 fruit;
- breadcrumbs - 2/3 of an ordinary glass;
- sunflower oil - 150 ml (for frying dishes).
Meat processing
The breaded chicken is tender and tasty, if you buy only chilled fillet for this dish. But if you could not find such meat, then you can use frozen breasts. They need to be rinsed, separated from the skin and bones, and then cut into portioned pieces.
Marinating meat
So that the breaded chicken is not only tender, but also juicy, it is recommended to soak it in advance in a sour-spicy marinade. To do this, put the breasts in an enameled bowl, and then pour in them sea salt, fragrant seasonings, allspice black pepper and squeeze 2/3 of the lemon. Next, the meat must be mixed, covered and left aside for 20-30 minutes.
Cooking batter and sprinkles
In order for the meat component to be well fried in a pan, it must be dipped in batter and roll in breadcrumbs. To do this, you need to take two shallow plates, in one of which you need to break the chicken eggs and beat them with a whisk, and in the second pour the crushed crackers.
Meat heat treatment
Breaded chicken fillet is made very easy and simple. To do this, you need to take a piece of pickled breast, dip it in a well-beaten egg, then roll in breadcrumbs and put on a hot frying pan with sunflower oil. In this case, the fat should cover the surface of the stewpan by about 2 centimeters. After the lower side of the breasts is browned (after 13-16 minutes), they should be turned over with tongs or a fork and fry the back part in exactly the same way. When all the chicken has been cooked, put it on a large plate and serve it hot.
How to present to dinner
Soft and juicy breaded chicken should be served with the side dish. After all, the only way a dinner of fried breasts will be hearty and tasty. At the same time, you should definitely bring some sauce to the dish or separately prepare the sauce (so that the side dish is not too dry). To do this, mix drinking water and tomato paste, bring them to a boil, and then flavor with table salt, allspice and granulated sugar. Next, put in the sauce a dessert spoon of flour mixed with 1/3 cup chilled boiling water, remove from heat and use as a flavoring gravy.
