Serves: 2 Servings
 
Ingredients
  • 1 Large Chicken breast
  • ¼ Tsp Salt
  • ¼ Tsp Pepper Powder
  • 1 Egg beaten well
  • 3 Tbsp Oil (you can use whatever you use usually)
  • For the Crust
  • ½ Cup Almonds
  • ⅛ Tsp Salt
Instructions
  1. Cut the chicken breast along the middle to make two cutlets.
  2. Pat try with a paper towel and marinate with ¼ Tsp salt and ¼ pepper powder for 5 - 10 mins. At ours the kids like our chicken to be only lightly seasoned so feel free to adjust according to your taste.
  3. Powder the ingredients listed in the 'For the crust' section in a food processor till they resemble bread crumbs. Pour this into a shallow dish and keep aside.
  4. In a second shallow dish beat an egg well and keep aside.
  5. Now set up an assembly line, first the chicken followed by the egg, then the almonds, and finally a clean plate.
  6. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg making sure to completely coat the chicken.
  7. Then dip the chicken in the almond powder mix, again coating evenly. Keep aside.
  8. Heat 3 Tbsp of oil in a non stick skillet. When the oil is hot place the chicken in the pan.
  9. Reduce the flame to the half point between the low and medium mark.
  10. Cook it covered for 10 mins. Keeping the flame low and chicken covered is very important in ensuring that the meat doesn't dry out and is cooked all the way through.
  11. Flip the pieces after 10 mins.
  12. After 10 more mins remove from the pan and place onto a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  13. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
