I leave you this recipe for breaded chicken breasts that are a delight! An ideal recipe to prepare light and nutritious sandwiches. Also to taste with different sauces or make dishes accompanied with salads or vegetables. A recipe to take advantage of any occasion, super versatile!
Chicken, one of the preferred meats for being nutritious and high in protein. In addition, it is a type of lean meat, low in fat. That is why chicken is one of the meats that is mostly included in the diets prepared by nutrition specialists.
Let’s talk about the recipe:
This recipe is very simple and easy to make. The ingredients used are few, common, and easily accessible in any market. Unlike most battered or breaded (it is usually said both ways), it is a recipe that does not use eggs to adhere the breadcrumbs to the meat. Which makes it ideal for those who are allergic or cannot consume eggs.
Regarding chicken, the leanest part is used, the breasts. Which the skin is removed and deboned previously. The breasts are cut into small portions, thus leaving the chicken breasts. In this way, not only do you get individual servings, but also a shorter cooking time.
As for the batter, there are different classic options: breadcrumbs, rice breadcrumbs (suitable for celiacs), or some combination with instant oats or dehydrated seasonings. This combination gives it an extra amount of nutrients and also gives it a slightly crunchy texture. They can also be marinated with all-purpose or whole-wheat flour.
About the cooking:
To cook these battered chicken breasts, you can choose different ways, depending on the taste of each one or how you are getting used to cooking. Among the options for cooking are the oven, microwave, frying pan or fried for example. This time I baked them with olive oil.
The cooking time is shorter compared to cooking the whole breast. Which makes it a good idea when you don’t have time to cook, but you want to eat healthy and nutritious. As a tip, avoid cooking the chicken more than necessary, so it doesn’t dry out.
