Baguette Breaded chicken

Description

I saw someone make chicken this way on Tiktok and I fell in love. The reason it is so delicious is that the breadcrumbs are relatively large (way better than panko) and they soak up the olive oil while the chicken cooks. Think of this as a rather healthy cheat meal! Serves 6-7 people.

Ingredients

  

• 1 kg chicken breast, cut along the width and tapped to 1 cm thickness
• Salt and pepper
• 4 large eggs
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-1.5 cups flour
• A full baguette bread
• 5 sprigs fresh herbs, like parsley, basil or oregano
• Olive oil for shallow frying

Instructions

 

• Cut up the baguette into 3 cm slices and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes until they are very dry. Then process the pieces with the herbs in a food processor until the biggest piece is about 1 cm. 
• Butterfly the chicken breasts and then flatten them with a meat pounder to reach about 1 cm thickness. Make sure the chicken is the same thickness on all sides.and cut them into reasonable sized pieces.
• Prepare the coating stations: one: the flour. Two: the eggs and minced garlic. Three: the breadcrumbs.
• Pat the chicken pieces dry and salt and pepper them generously on both sides.
• Dip the chicken pieces in the flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
• Shallow fry the chicken in a good amount of olive oil. Try to turn the chicken only once after it it crisps on the first side. Add more olive oil while you are cooking as needed.
• Enjoy with the tomato chili pasta, or with a side salad.
