Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds raw chicken breast tenders
1/4 to 1/2 cup buttermilk
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 to 3 teaspoons seasoned salt, such as Lawry's Seasoned Salt, or spices of your choosing
Vegetable oil
Dipping sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Submerge the chicken strips in the buttermilk for 15 to 20 minutes (or longer if you'd like).
  • In another bowl, combine the flour and seasoning salt (or other seasonings if you prefer). Mix this together well. Next, gradually drizzle 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir lightly with a fork as you add it to achieve clumps.
  • Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low to medium heat.
  • Remove a few of the buttermilk-soaked chicken strips and place them in the flour mixture, turning them over to coat thoroughly. Place them on a plate. Continue coating the chicken strips until they are all ready to cook.
  • When the oil is sufficiently heated, begin cooking the strips a few at a time. Cook them for about a minute and a half or so on each side. When golden and crispy and the chicken is done, remove them to a paper-towel-lined plate. Do not allow them to burn.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Yum!

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup salted roasted almonds
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt
1 pound chicken tenders
One 12-ounce jar roasted red peppers (1 1/2 cups), roughly chopped

3 tablespoons tomato paste

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet.
  • Pulse together the almonds, parsley, garlic powder, sesame seeds, thyme and 1 tablespoon salt in a food processor until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs and no large pieces of almond are left. Transfer 3/4 cup to a shallow bowl for breading; reserve the remaining almond mixture in the food processor.

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dinner, Supper

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

150ml buttermilk , or skimmed milk mixed with 2 tsp lemon juice then left for 5 mins
2 large skinless chicken breasts or 4 small pieces pork escalope
50g panko breadcrumbs
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp soy sauce
½ tsp white wine vinegar
2 large or 4 small carrots (about 300g), peeled and grated
½ lemon , juiced
1 tbsp olive oil
baked potatoes , to serve

Steps:

  • Pour the buttermilk into a wide, shallow bowl. Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally and pat dry with kitchen paper. Turn them over in the buttermilk, leave in the dish and chill for 1 hr. Meanwhile, for the salad, mix the carrot with the lemon juice and olive oil. Mix the sauce ingredients together in another bowl and set both aside.
  • Heat a large, non-stick frying pan, tip in the breadcrumbs and toast in the dry pan for 2-3 mins until pale brown, stirring regularly so they don't burn. Tip into a bowl and break up any large clumps.
  • Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Tip the crumbs onto a large plate, then lift the chicken breasts from the buttermilk, and roll them in the crumbs, making sure they are coated evenly.
  • Heat ½ tbsp of oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the chicken for 1-2 mins over a medium-high heat, then turn it over, adding the rest of the oil and fry for 1 min more.
  • Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake for 5 mins, then rest for 5 mins and cut into strips. Serve the chicken and the carrot salad with the sauce and baked potatoes.
