Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast
- 2 eggs
- 80g of breadcrumbs
- 50g of sesame seeds
- oil, for frying
- 1 tbsp of butter, for frying
- a pinch of salt
- a pinch of black pepper
- a pinch of dried garlic
For garnish
- a pinch of fresh chopped parsley
Method
Wash chicken breasts, drain and halve each lengthwise.
Place the meat on the chopping board and cover with cling film.
Beat gently with a meat tenderiser, only to even out the thickness of the meat.
Remove the cling film and season with salt, pepper and dried garlic on both sides.
In a small bowl, using a fork, beat the eggs.
In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs with sesame seeds.
Dip chicken into the egg mixture and then into the bowl with breadcrumbs and sesame.
Coat with crumbs nicely on all sides.
In a pan, heat the oil and 1 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt to the oil to avoid an oil splash.
The addition of butter will give a slightly buttery flavour to the chicken.
Fry chicken on both sides until golden brown over medium-high heat (around 3-4 minutes on each side).
If they turn brown too quickly, reduce the heat; if they fry too slowly, increase.
Place on a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot alongside chips, mashed potatoes, baked new potatoes, cooked cabbage, coleslaw, or your favourite vegetables.
