Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, skinned
- 2tbsp plain flour
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 1 medium egg
- 50g white breadcrumbs
- Zested rind of 1 lemon
- 1-2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 30g butter
- 1tbsp sunflower oil
Method
Put each chicken breast between 2 sheets of cling film and, using a rolling pin or mallet, beat the chicken breasts out to an even thickness, until each one is about twice the original size.
Tip the flour on to a plate and add seasoning. Leave to one side. Beat the egg in a shallow dish. On another plate,mix together the breadcrumbs, lemon zest and parsley.
Dip a chicken breast in the flour and tap off any excess, then dip it in the egg to coat completely; finally, dip in breadcrumb mixture and set aside. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan. Cook the breasts over a medium heat for 3-4 mins on each side. Drain on kitchen paper before serving.
