Instructions

  1. Flatten the chicken breasts between two sheets of baking paper to about 1 cm thick, then season them.
  2. Dip each breast in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumbs until well coated.
  3. Heat 1 cm of oil in a large frying pan to 170 °C and fry the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until a nice golden colour.
  4. Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm in a low oven while you make the sauce.
  5. Soften the sliced onion and garlic in a saucepan with the butter for 3 minutes, sprinkle in flour and stir for 1 minute.
  6. Add the stock, soy sauce, ketchup and pepper, then let the sauce thicken for 5 minutes over medium heat.
  7. Serve the chicken topped with the sauce and the chips.

Variations and tips

Lighter version. Bake the breaded chicken at 220 °C for 15 minutes, turning it halfway through, with no frying oil.
