Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs (Italian or plain)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated (increase if desired)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper (fresh makes a difference)
1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging (approximate)
2 large eggs, beaten
4 (4 -6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips (or fingers or tenders)
1/2 cup oil, for shallow frying

Steps:

  • Put the flour, eggs and the bread crumbs each separately in 3 shallow dishes. Stir into the flour the lemon zest. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dip each breast into the flour, then shake off the excess. Next, run the breast through the egg to coat it lightly and hold the chicken over the liquid to let any excess drip back into the bowl. Finally, lay the strips in the bread crumbs, turn it over and press into the breading to coat. Lay on a piece of waxed paper. Repeat until all strips are coated.
  • Add the oil to a large skillet (12 inches in diameter and cast iron is best) over medium heat until hot. Lay several chicken strips in the pan. Cook the chicken without turning until nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook until equally brown on the other side, about 3-4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining strips. Transfer chicken to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 slices white bread (about 8 ounces)*
3 tablespoons grated parmesan
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
About 1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs, beaten
3 boneless skinless chicken breast, each about 8 ounces
Vegetable oil, for shallow frying

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make bread crumbs: Tear the bread into pieces. Spread bread out on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute to dry out the bread. (Alternately, spread the bread out on a baking sheet and dry in a 350 degree F oven for 12 minutes.) Let cool and pulse the dried bread in a food processor with the Parmesan, parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
  • Put the flour, eggs, and bread crumb mixture in 3 separate shallow dishes.
  • With the flat side of a cooks' knife or the smooth side of a meat-pounder, pound each breast to equal thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Cut into 1 1/2-inch strips pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Dip each strip into the flour, then shake off the excess. Next, run the strips through the egg to coat it lightly and hold the chicken over the liquid to let any excess fall back into the bowl. Finally, lay the strips in the bread crumbs, turn it over and press it into the breading to evenly coat. Lay on a piece of waxedpaper.
  • Heat 1/4-inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot and shimmering. Lay 2 or 3 chicken strips at a time in the pan. Cook the chicken without turning until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook until equally brown on the other side and the chicken is cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining 2 breasts. Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve.

  • Cut the chicken breasts into even strips. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will add flavor to the chicken.
  • Dredge the chicken strips in flour, egg, and then bread crumbs. This will create a crispy coating on the chicken.
  • Fry the chicken strips in hot oil until they are golden brown. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, and ranch dressing.
