Crumbed chicken with Green Mayonnaise
Ingredients
1. 4 skinless chicken breast fillets
2. juice of 1 lemon
3. 1 teaspoon paprika
4. Plain (all-purpose) flour,for dusting
5. 1-2 eggs
6. dried breadcrumbs,for coating
7. about 4 tablespoon olive oil
8. salt and ground black pepper
9. lemon wedges (optional), to serve
10. For the mayonnaise
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoon pickled capers/Raisin, drained and chopped
2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Procedure
1. Skin the chicken fillets. Lay them outside down and,with a sharp knife, cut horizontally,almost through,from the rounded side. Open them up like a book. Press gently,to make a roundish shape the size of a side plate. Sprinkle with lemon juice and paprika.
2. Set out three shallow bowls. Sprinkle flour over one, seasoning it well. Beat the egg with a little salt and pour into the second. Sprinkle the third with dried breadcrumbs. Dip the fillets first into the breadcrumbs to coat them evenly.
3. Put the mayonnaise ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine.
4. Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan over a high heat. Fry the breast portions two at a time, turning after 3 minutes,until golden on both sides. Add more oil for the second batch if needed. Serve immediately, with the mayonnaise and lemon wedges, if using
