Method

Prepare the meat
Slice the chicken breast into thin pieces, then cover them with cling film and bash them to about half a centimetre thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Set up the breading station
Prepare three dishes: put the flour in the first, the beaten egg in the second, and the breadcrumbs in the third.
Coat the chicken
Dip the meat in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, and gently press the crumbs on so they stick well.
Rest
Let the breaded pieces rest on a plate so the coating firms up and does not fall off during frying.
10 min
Fry
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, then fry the pieces for half to one minute on each side until golden brown, working in small batches.
12 min
Serve
Drain off excess oil on kitchen paper and serve with lemon slices. Add potato salad or steamed vegetables as you like.
