Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup chipotle chile in adobo, chopped finely (decrease amount for less spiciness but recommends full amount)
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 tablespoons cornstarch
salt and pepper, to taste
panko breadcrumbs
oil (for frying)
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together chipotle peppers, buttermilk, egg, cornstarch, salt and pepper.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch pieces. Place the chicken in the batter and let it sit for at least a couple hours in the fridge or overnight.
  • Pour some panko breadcrumbs in a shallow plate.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet.
  • Coat each piece of chicken with breadcrumbs, add more breadcrumbs as needed and fry on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Place on paper napkins to soak up some of the oil. Repeat with all chicken pieces. Only add a few pieces of chicken to the skillet at a time so as not to over crowd, so the chicken turns out crispy.
  • Once out of fryer, season with more salt, pepper (if desired) and chopped cilantro to taste.
  • Serve with your choice of dip.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was tough and the chipotle sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought the chicken was a bit dry, but the chipotle sauce was amazing. I would make this recipe again, but I would cook the chicken for less time.

I'm not a big fan of chipotle, but I thought this recipe was still really good. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the sauce was tangy and sweet.
