Baguette Breaded chicken

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.
