chicken jewels

what you need:

1 chicken breast
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 egg
1 cup of bread crumbles
1 tb spoon of olive oil
pinch of salt
1/2 cup of frozen pease
1/4 cup grated carrots

* * *

take a small chicken breast. wash it and cut it into small bites of about 1 cm per side.
place flour and breadcrumbs on two different plates.
whisk the egg and place it in a small bowl.

add a pinch of salt to the chicken bites. in the following order, pass the chicken bites into the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs. use a spoon with holes so what is in excess will fall out.

heat the oil in a pan. when hot thrown the chicken. help yourself with a kitchen brush to cover evenly the chicken with oil. oil should be hardly visible and absolutely not cover the chicken.

let it cook with a low heat until golden brown. keep shaking so it will not stick not burn ( remember that we have used very little oil). this should take no more than 5-8 minutes. check the bites before removing from heat ( you do not want the chicken to be raw). do not overcook or it will become dry. let it rest on a kitchen paper so that extra oil wil be absorbed.

when the coccinella is ready, serve with boiled peas and carrot. decorate with a tomato coin. (raw tomato cut with something sharp and rund).

coccinella's grade: 8/10
