I was taught this recipe by an old lady that used to live in the village where I grew up so you can be sure it is good. It is ideal for a quick and not too heavy snack
Prep time: ~20mins firts time, 15mins when familiar | Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 4 Chicken Breats
- Plain Flour
- Salt
- Pepper
- Seasoning
- Lemon (Juice)
- Olive Oil
Preparation:
- Cover the chicken breast with a sheet of cling film and flatten with a meat mallet
- Repeat for each breast
- Slice the flattened chicken breasts into small strips or squares
- Season with a bit of salt, pepper and whatever spices you might like to try
- Put a bit of flour in a bowl
- Put a fistful of chicken pieces into the bowl and swirl until the chicken is covered by a thin layer of flour
- Repeat until done with all the pieces
- Warm up some olive oil in a pan
- When ready put the chicken pieces into the pan and cook both sides until they are nice and golden
- When you feel like the meat is cooked add a generuous splash of lemon juice to the pan and stir quickly
- Remove from heat and serve.
Tips:
- Resist the temptation of seasinong too much or you will cover the flavour of the lemon and chicken
- Cut a piece of chicken in two while cooking it if unsure it is done to perfection
- Put in a bowl with some kithcen towel after cooking to dry the chicken up a bit and remove excess oil
- Prepare the lemon juice ahead of time to make things easier
Recommendations:
- You can use lemon juice instead of lemons to make the process easier
- I usually do this in a wok
- You eat them cold in a wrap, or sandwich.
- They work well in a spinach or iceberg salad with a touch of mayohu
Possible Substitutions:
- Turkey works great too instead of chicken
- Can also use butter, margarine or coconut butter
- Lime works well instead of lemon
