Chicken breast chop in batter

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry a chicken breast in batter in a frying pan? It's very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. The size of the chicken breasts doesn't really matter. This can be 3-4 small fillets or two large ones. For chops, a minimal set of spices such as salt and pepper is sufficient. But you can also add spices to your taste, such as dry garlic, paprika, curry, etc.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the chicken fillet and dry. If the fillets are large, weighing about 300 g, cut each crosswise into slices 2 cm thick. If the fillets are small, it is enough to cut them into 2-3 parts lengthwise or crosswise.

3. STEP 3

   

   Season each piece with salt, pepper and other spices as desired.

4. STEP 4

   

   Using a mallet, lightly pound the meat on one side, driving the spices into the meat and flattening the pieces. At the same time, try not to damage the integrity of the meat. You can first beat and then sprinkle the meat with spices.

5. STEP 5

   

   Now prepare everything for the batter and breading. If the eggs are large, three pieces are enough, if small, of the second category, it is better to take 4 pieces so that there is enough batter for all the chops. You can use sour cream of any fat content, I used 15%, but not watery so that the batter is quite viscous.

6. STEP 6

   

   Combine eggs with sour cream, salt and pepper. Mix well.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add flour little by little, whisking the batter with a fork each time, breaking up any lumps. To prevent lumps from forming, I recommend sifting the flour into the batter through a sieve. You may need a little more or less flour.

8. STEP 8

   

   The finished batter should be quite viscous, but fluid. It should not flow off the chicken like water.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place flour for breading into a bowl. You can also add a little salt to the flour if desired. Lightly roll the chicken slices in flour, so the batter will better coat the meat.

10. STEP 10

    

    Then dip the chops in the batter on all sides. By this time, heat a frying pan on the stove and pour in vegetable oil. You will learn how to choose the right frying pan and oil for frying by reading articles on these topics; a link to them is at the end of this recipe.

11. STEP 11

    

    Immediately place the chops in a preheated frying pan and fry in vegetable oil for about 3-5 minutes on each side. Focus on your stove. At the end, you can cover the pan with a lid and fry over low heat for another 3-4 minutes until the chops are cooked. I didn't need to fry the meat further because the chops were thin enough and the chicken was cooked well.

12. STEP 12

    

    Transfer the finished chops to a dish and serve immediately with any side dish. Bon appetit!

Today I prepared a delicious battered chicken breast for dinner. My breast was small. Having cut it into pieces, salted it and beat each piece a little. Chicken meat is quite soft, so this process didn’t take me long. Having finished with the breast, I started preparing the batter. To do this, I took a tablespoon of mayonnaise (replacing sour cream with it), two small eggs, two tablespoons of flour, salt (I did not add pepper). I used one spoon less mayonnaise than in the recipe. It seemed to me that this was quite enough for the test. The batter came out thick, like pancake batter. And what is important, viscous. Next, I rolled the meat in flour. Then, having dipped the pieces in batter on all sides, I sent them to fry in a frying pan. Thanks to the batter, the breast remained juicy, since the batter prevented the juice from leaking out. The meat became tender and flavorful. The dough crust turned out golden brown and very appetizing. Thank you so much for the recipe!
